Hey everyone ok this is my update ok so it was my tires that were causing the rub they were way to fat so what i did was i bought new rims and tires i got flatt black spoons15" and the tire size was 195/45/15 which are sweet and no rubbing wat so ever and it seems i can go a bit bigger

Now to the bounce so you really think the shocks are bad bc when i get out and test the shocks by pushing down on the car to see it move it stays in place no crazy bounce only happens when i am like hitting over 60 on a bump it moves the body up and down but i guess i need to start looking for something else thanks again everyone for the help and if u have any more advise please let me know thanks again

you should post some pics of the wheels

But what shocks do you have? It's possible that they just don't have the damping power to cope with your drop, so they feel bouncy on bumps but still don't bounce when you push down on the car.

^ that.

And the GR2's might be the problem. They aren't exactly designed for almost a 3" drop. I'd say the skunk2 shocks would probably be your best option if you have skunk2 springs; most companies design their springs/shocks to work in tandem.

Are you talking Tien coilovers or Tien lowering springs? IMO coilovers are the way to go if you live in an area with any kind of snow since you can return to (near) stock ride height for the winter and drop it in the summer.

hmmm good point i am in NY so it does suck now when it snows for me to go out my car wont do well so coilover is the way to go bc i heard so many different stories and i was just confused on them so after this buy i will start saving for the coilovers so tein would be best to go or what do u think

You'll definitely be happy with Tein coilovers; just remember that every time you alter the ride height the toe will change so you'll need an alignment to keep your tires from wearing too much. I'd suggest going somewhere that offers lifetime alignments; after 4 alignments, it'll most likely have paid for itself already.

Another good setup is Ground Control coilover sleeves and KONI shocks. I had GC sleeves with my KYB AGX shocks and I can definitely vouch for GC being a good company.

OK so you know what i am going to check out prices but may stick to ur setup since u had it and said it was good i rather stick to that and so my other question would be should i get a ADJUSTABLE FRONT CAMBER KIT and front control arms bc the only thing i changed was my back control arms and the front is stock
