Suspension Setups For Euro Owners With 20" Wheels

i would roll my guards but i'm not super keen on cutting away at the plastic gaurd on the inside of the wheels well...

The coilovers were wound down but i can run my figers between the tyre and the guard.

The car rides like a dream. The H&R coilovers are really comfortable, nobody has noticed that the car has been changed when they ride in it.

Only problem i have now is the scrubbing that occurs when i hit bumps on the highway at 100km/h. The rims come right to the edge of the guard and are scrubbing on the plastic inner gaurd.

I'm thinkin i need to either buy another set of rims with a smaller width. maybe 7.5-8. Or get the suspension looked at again.

will post pics later this week

you prob should downgrade to less wider wheels but even so you said the coilovers are comfy so i am assuming that they are considerably very soft which would possibly still cause the scrubbing when going on humps.

To have comfortable ride in otherwords your wheels might still have scrubbing as larger wheels are a rougher ride but in your case your coilovers are reducing the roughness.

Just wondering what tyre size are you running? if you are running 235/30/20 i dont think you need roll your guards <-- think it was covered.

considered a higher offset wheel or more negative camber?
but i'll say rolling ur guards is the way to go.

thanks for everyones comments/suggestions

i'm running a 35 profile tyre...And honestly i'd rather keep it that way.

I'm getting my whole setup looked at by a specialist at Fulcrum next week. Wil see what he has to say.

hey, i've just got 20" and ingalls rear camber kit fitted yesterday :D

but i've got a problem with the rear wheels rubbing the guards. so i rolled the guards, wheel aligned it with 0.5 rear camber. but it still rubs.

i think its because of the rear wheels width.. its 20x9

any suggestions?? need help quite urgently...

thanks

Your rear wheel rim width is too wide!

too big and too wide lol

-0.5 camber is nothing. the cl9 comes stock with -1deg
with that setup u may wanna try -2deg but i wouldn't recommend any more negative than that unless u wanna change tyres every month lol

There lies your problam, the 35 profile is miles to big for the euro, I tried a 35 profile on my euro nothing but rubbing. Go down to a 30 profile and it will fix all issues

yeah i did consider it but figured the 35 profile was more comfortable ride with the extra rubber...

will look into it when after it gets back from the suspension place

cheers

yeh as i said before 30 is the max you can without rolling your guards if you stick with 35 you will need roll them.

Ok so i'm going to stick with the 35 profile for now (until they need replacing) as its too much hassle to seel swap etc.

Also I'm not on alot of roads where bottoming out is a problem so will just bare with it.

My car is booked in to get the coilovers fixed nexted week so i'm hoping it makes a slight difference.

will post up pics next week...i promise, just havn't been home with the car.

if your going comfort sport or superstreet they may be more comfy.
What are you sticking in the car?
and make a slight difference with your camber? not unless you raise it back up a bit.
