Unhappy Need help finding springs....

I am not 100% sure if this question has already been asked, but I need some help finding stock height performance springs for a Sc300. I got new rims and the buffer zone between the tire and the fender is only like 1.5 inches. The stock springs i have are very loose and I can push them down to the point where they rub, so whenever if i do any sort of aggressive driving or hit a bump they rub. I’m looking to eliminate the rub with new stiffer springs, but I want to keep the buffer zone so I do not want to lower it at all. I tried to look but came up with nothing. Can anyone help me??

Welcome to ClubLexus RSC.

Definitely questions on suspension options have been asked many times Please try the forum search feature for a ton of info. Also suggest you try starting with the FAQ here:

Specifically suspension

Just based on your description not wanting to lower your SC, you have a couple of options (maybe more): 1) get new stock springs (or a used set from someone here) or 2) get a set of coilovers and keep the stock ride height (better option for handling but more $$).

Welcome

For me I'd go the coilover route and keep it at stock height in your situation.

So since i guess my only option is to get coil overs haha. What would you guys say is the best brand for a price under 2k? Id like something that is very stiff. I can care less about how "smooth" my ride is as long as i can drive like a fool and still have great handling and no rubbing lol. If i could figure out on how to post pictures id post one to give a better idea as to whats going on. How would i go about doing that?
