Default H&R Coilover question........

I just installed the H&R coilover, but I have to bring the car back so they can raise the back and front up. When I am taking sharp turns or even slightly hit a bump, the front tires scarpe. Any suggestions as to what setting to keep the coil overs and keep the lowered look?

What size wheels (width and offset) and what brand and size tires are you using?

Default 18x8.5 with 31+ offset.

My tires and rims are lined up with the fenders perfectly.

Default Well, obviously they aren't lined up *perfectly*! :-P

I know what you're saying...that's a pretty aggressive offset, and Skene is right, roll those fenders! You may need to raise the car a little bit too, but it sounds like you don't want to do that, so start with rolling the fenders, and if it still rubs, raise it 1/4" at a time, until you don't hear it rubbing anymore.
