Teaser

model: VW BBS VZ
size n offset : 18x8 et37
tire size: 225/40 R18
coilovers: ST
spacers: none
Rubbing: rubs in the back on hard turns and hitting dips. Running -2.1 of camber in the back. Anyone know what kind of range you can get out of the stock eccentric bolt? I'd like to try that before going with 215s.

nice to know a 9" +38 can fit well ... and with some camber can avoid rubbing!

Not knocking your setup at all but I am amazed that those wheels rub with that amount of wheelgap. My wife has ST coils and they truly are horrible when it comes to rear bounce. I'm thinking different springs would really help your setup a lot.

The camera angles are probably deceptive, because I can barely get a finger between the tire and the fender in the rear. I haven't experienced any problems with bounciness, the rear springs are just too soft for the SW. What does your wife have STs installed on? If I can find the right rear springs, I think it would make the setup perfect. Honestly, when I finally bolt up my RSB and play with the camber, I bet that would be enough on its own. I just really want more adjustability in the back, because right now my range is from a 1 finger gap to the tires firmly planted inside the wheel wells.

make: VW
model: Daytona
size n offset : 18X8 ET41
tire size: 235/40 18 Conti
coilovers: N/A
spacers: N/A

The rears rub slightly over steep dips. Maybe going to a 225/40 or take it easy until these wear. I hate downsizing width

you wont be downsizing with a 225. if you check whatever manufacturer you decide to go with, i am pretty much 100% sure 225/40s are able to "safely" run up to at least 8.5" wide, usually 9"

I have slight rubbing under hard cornering same wheels and St coilovers. Not dumped but a little lower than the JSW. St's seem like they were more intended for cruisers than track. I was thinking a rear swaybar might get rid of my rear rubbing by reducing body roll.

As soon as I get those sway bar end link brackets I ordered from you I will be testing out that theory

I think that stiffer rear springs are definitely in order as well. I pushed the rear camber to -3, and although it helped a great deal with rubbing, over a serious dip or with a couple hundred pounds of cargo it's still chewing fender liner.

[whitepepper]

smaller tires make all the difference in the world.
