I got my rears rolled due to rubbing with 5 people in the car. Now the rear has some minor pull that comes with rolling the rear

here i have the rear passenger side tire sitting on a few blocks of wood to get it to compress a bit. you can see from the scrub marks where it did rub at full compression pre fender roll





its about half an inch clearance so i'm thinking 15mm coupled with something like this Suspension fixes. Rear too low. Rubber spring spacers. - AudiWorld Forums might help with the low rear spring rate. (2.5k vs 2.0k stock)

10mm spacers are also an option but would require extended studs and open ended lugs or oem 96 3.2 tl studs in order for me to use my current lug nuts.

 

What suspension are you running?

 

t1r s-coil springs. I would ideally have buddy club n+ but have not seen any for sale in a while.

wheels are 16x7 +40 on 205/50/16 falken 512

 

With spacers total offset is +25?

Not sure if putting blocks on one side will give you good measurements either, because the wheel won't be straight like it usually is it will lean in when it's pushed, look at the diagram, second picture.

Twist-beam rear suspension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When you're driving and both wheels hit a dip they'll remain with no camber, so it'll throw your measurements off. Put some heavy stuff in the back instead.

Stance and lowering springs usually don't mix well, especially when you have a packed car. You could try those spring spacers to bring the car up a little bit but I don't think it will be enough to stop it from rubbing on big dips with weight in the back with soft spring rates like you have. It might help with smaller bumps.

I vote 10mm spacers and extended studs. That way if you still have issues with 10mm you can go down until it doesn't rub anymore.

Or take the spacers off until you can get coilovers.

 

Oh wow, I didn't think about the rear twisting. I ordered the oem studs 10mm spacer so we'll see how it'll work out in a few days.

thanks.

 

no, no it doesn't
