i need some help

i recently put 19" oem rays on my sedan and the back tire would rub off big bumps or with people in the back so i got used 350z springs thinking it would help cause its stiffer but it made it worse. do i need just new springs or change the whole thing?

um 350Z springs will lower your car. best way is to roll your fenders or get some negative camber!

What tire size are you running? And, like he said, you need to roll your fenders.

After you let it settle it will be ~1" lower and rub more. Need to roll your rears.

I have z springs front, non-sport cpe springs rear, with 35 series tires and rolled rear lips and I don't rub and I'm happy.

good luck and keep the rays and lose the heavy friends
