gs350on22s

as some of you know i was dropped on the tein h tech springs on 22s and i wanted to change to better and a bit stiffer springs. i am now looking at the eibach pro kit springs which give a 1.3 front and 1.2 rear. do you guys think i should be okay dropped on those springs with 22s on ?

Anything on 22's will rub. I think your 22's are creating problems for you car. The weight and overall rolling diameter may be too much for the mechanical components to handle? I know people who roll "scrapers" and those extremely large diameter wheels causes increased wear and tear on the drivetrain and suspension components. It also causes lots of vibrations!

when i had my h techs i did a lot of work underneath that wheel well not to rub and it all came out perfectly. obviously every aftermarket wheel over the size of 19" will cause wear and tear and e.t.c. its also how aggressive of a driver you are. i just wanna know that if it would be such a big difference between the h tech since there soft springs and the eibachs which are stiffer but give a lil more of a drop.

What I'm saying is that a 22" wheel rolling diameter may be too much to handle for the drivetrain. It deosn't matter what type of work you do to the wheel well, that's just for clearance. Think about it? I'm running 245/35/20 in the front and 275/30/20 in the rear, that's a 26.7" rolling diameter in the front and rear. I'm already .9" larger than the stock wheels (17" and 18"). You're running 22" wheels that probably have a rolling diameter at 27.8", that's almost 2" larger than the stock wheel. The larger you go the worse it gets!

It's not like we're rolling big Chevy or Ford trucks where you can add 5-10 inches in rolling diameter and be okay. Those trucks have heavy duty drivetrain components.

The drivetrain components in our car is not heavy duty! The 22" wheel rolling diameter may cause excessive strain, resulting in vibrations? Ask a few reputable technicians. You're the only guy on this forum rolling lowered with 22's but having the most problems? Look at the data sheet I put together.
