Hi guys
2019sti and my wheel is 18 +35 9.5 w/255 40.Rubbing when cornering over 100km/h.

any coilover recommend?

The basic Hipermax S doesn't come with adjustable front camber plates. Are you rubbing both front and rear? You'll needed to run rear LCA to adjust rear camber and might need to roll those fenders.

 

[Karlot]

a coilover isnt going to fix that rubbing necessarily. camber plates and/or rear lower control arms and a proper alignment is what you need. possibly a fender roll.


that said, the Cygnus x1 is one of the best entry level offerings i have ever seen. Geoff Cygnus will work with you and your goals to have the perfect setup, valved for the spring rates you want, so it can be geared towards motorsports or comfort for a daily. they are made by fortune auto and serviceable/upgradable in virginia. have a 5 year warranty on them. and with the custom valving they offer quite a bit that other entry level offerings do not. I got mine with caster/camber plates which you'll likely want/need here.

does that offset require spacers or not? just askin

also where is it rubbing? might just be mud flaps if you are lucky lol

Sometimes spacers are needed to clear the front brakes with some wheel designs, but with rubbing issues, spacers would make the rubbing worse as it would further push the wheels toward the fenders.

Like @Karlot said camber needs to be adjusted (more negative) to eliminate the rubbing. Coilovers won't fix that.

 

[nnnickkk]

Coilovers aren't the ultimate answer, while it will stiffen it up, you need camber too. Went a little too aggressive on the offset...

All of them rubbing

 

[ngkauipanbob21]

Will need to Add front bolts and rear lower control arms to adjust -1.5 camber. And roll all the fender😁then see how’s going

 

[knyg]

Wow. Surprised you are rubbing with that much of a gap which looks like stock height. Are you hitting bumps on this turn?
If you don't want to lower your car, just get stiffer springs.

this much. Rubbing a lots when go fast into corner.

 

[knyg]

Yeah. That is quite a bit of wheel gap. I wouldn't think that much space would rub. I assume youre on stock suspension then. Just get stiffer springs like 8k or higher and you should be okay at that height. My wheel specs are about the same gap and I have 9k all around. No issues rubbing.

 

[Karlot]

^that, especially if you are on stock suspension.

honestly i doubt you even need to go that stiff lol. a simple 5k/7k setup will likely do just fine.

 

[ngkauipanbob21]

Yes guys, I definitely think I will need a stiffer spring. I don’t think rolling and -1.5camber would help clearly, even would rubbing the rim possibly… just wonder would it be increase under steering if car gets higher

I’m not sure what you’re asking. There may be a language barrier?

I got you bro, my bad. I mean, if you put a spring on the oem suspension to limit the lowering of the body, will it increase the likelihood of the car understeering

Put a spring on the oem strut you mean?

Yes, would it work? Or how’s yours work?
