Hey guys ok so i bout an eg hatch like a month ago, it has 17" rims with low profile tyres! it looks like it has king spings, and got they r driving me mad! i live interstate and the road are pretty bumpy here and wen i drive i bounce all ova the place and feel everything and even my tyres rub against the guards if i hit a bad bump!

Wat i wanna know is wat i should do or buy?
i use the car everyday and its just for personel use for now, but slowly gonna build it up!

yuo can get stock suspension put back in. It will raise the car back to stock height but at least it will be comfortable and should minimise scrapeing.

yellow = kings
red = pedders
green = tein
blue green = dobinsons

well since u have 17s wif low profiles... hence the profile of the tyre is more thinner... you feel more bumps.. get smaller rims wif higher profile tyre n should be alryt .. if not then check shocks

if you get a mechanic shop to lip the guards it usually solves the problem.
i had a lowered bmw with 20" rims on it at one stage, got it done helped heaps.. it still happened when i turned into a corner hard but not driving over generally bumpy roads. it gives you more clearance between the wheel and the the guard cover

I run on 17's with super lows most of the time. It sounds like your shocks are dead. I had a similar problem
