I finally got my car back with the gt-7's installed heres the problem

The driver side rear rubs SLIGHTLY on the rear fender lip when the car is being cornered hard. (rubs even more w/ people in the car)
Im thinking a harder suspension would fix this


now ive been told if i get a new suspension set-up that i can adjust my camber to change this.

now what type of suspension should i be looking at..

Ive been told TIEN by multiple people, but have been looking for some other opinons

Money isnt really the issue but more of getting my car right so that it doesnt rub and handles better.

Have Koni shocks with Tein S techs....greatest investment into the car til date ((waiting to see if it holds when I get my Axial Flow Short shifter ))

more looking for the adjustable type of suspension.


Im thinking if i lost some weight i probably wouldnt have this problem..

I have Tein with Volks also and I still rub. 18x9.5 +40 in the back. It barely hits though so when I get my camber adjusted it should be ok. My camber is only at like -0.9 in the rear and ill try to get it to -1.8 or so.

do you have to have tiens or a coilover to adjust your suspension
or can i have my mazda shop adjust it a little bit

DaveRX8

The coilovers, are adjustable. Then just take it to get aligned and print out your own specs that you want. Search around on here to find alignment specs. Under the racing section there is a sticky that is alignment specs for street and track use.

How's the treadwear? I can't imagine it wearing even?

Sounds like you have the wrong off set.

You need coil overs to raise the height. They are stiffer to!

the offset is fine.. the rubbing is minimal. it only rubs while being cornered hard with the throttle wide open

I have 19 inch te37's with a +34 offset in the rear running 275/30's. Im also slammed on HKS Hipermax II'S. I had some rubbing issues as well but I got my inner fender's cut and that resolved all my problems.
