    Has anyone flared their guards on an ST162 to prevent rubbing?

    stock shocks , well that i know of ,

    and super low king springs, i guess i experienced rubbing 2dae :(

    rides nicely but when i hit a bump in the road depends if im cornering it rubs on the plastic arche things inside the guard might had to mod them

    So you put the springs in with the stock shocks and it doesn't rub on the guards? What offset are your rims? Does it bottom out easily?

    hmm not really too sure for the bottoming out , 35 off set rims 15 inch , my tires are 195/55/15

    lets just say i cudnt get down my m8s drive 2nyt lol

    depending on the corner they rub on a little and if i go over a bump like a stuff up in the road aka not completely flat surface depending on how hard and speed it makes thw wheels hit the inner guards im gonna mod the inner guards then i should be fine

    speaking of lowering kits, i was thinking about getting the eibach prokit set and keeping the stock shocks. would this eliminate the rubbing ???? 200 bucks isnt easy to come by for a student.
