Performance Structs/Springs no Drop
Can everyone suggest any option of getting aftermarket (performance) struts and springs (may be adjustable coilovers also) with option to KEEP ride height, please? Harsh roads.
For the time being looking through on everybody's opinions I'm going for Tokico ZX2 S/R struts, Eibach springs (250#/200# spring rate (what does that mean anyway?)) and may be a groundcontrol coilover kit.
I also know that Tokico will rub against 205 sized tire, and I have 205 on 6.5" rims. Will getting 7" rims help against rubbing? Or do I have to go for spacers?

The struts you use has NO bearing on if they'll rub on your wheels or not.

Why not? Stock springs will not lower my car. Actually, even GroundControl description mentions 0-2".something drop. This as I understand is mostly affected by struts themselves (since Tokico are shorter) and also by springs. There are shorter springs on market, why not be same as stock? This explains first question.
The stock struts I use now do not rub my 205 tires, though, I sought a number of posts mentioned Tokico ones do. No wonder, though, why strut assembly cant be a millimeter or two wider? This explains second question.

There is no real aftermarket spring that will not drop the car. You can consider Suspension Techniques springs (1.3" drop) or Eibach (1.5" - 1.2"), if you have such bad roads you may not want to stiffen your ride? With just a suspension techniques spring and whatever strut, you will still be fine to drive around, specially if you have no gs lip.nightnic wrote:Why not? Stock springs will not lower my car.
