Hey everyone....Just thought Id share my meat and potatoes set up:
TEIN Street Advance Z + SPC adjustable camber arms (3 piece set) + XXR 5sumthings (that are discontinued anyways) 18 x 8.75 et38 wrapped in Yokohama Tornante 245/45R18s
The TEIN SAZ are preset with a 1.5 drop from the manufacturers, camber set as close to original as possible. The ride quality so far is VERY comparable to the stock set up (IMO). Nice on mediocre roads, and goes overnormal potholes and speedbumps with no problem.
Now, dont get me wrong I am rubbing under certain conditions such as bridge connection areas (driver side rear mostly) or dips at high speed and under heavy load (front passenger and rear driver side only), as well as hard cornering on turns (drivers side rear mostly).
Overall, I am quite satisfied with the current set up based on my driving needs. That being said, my wife HATES the rubbing sound (drives her crazy). The only fix is to have a little more fender work done and/or switch the tire/wheel combo. Too soon to tell.
