Default Atttention KYB AGX/Eibach owners

I got my KYB AGX installed along with Eibach Pro kit and it seems like the rear is lower than front. After driving a little today I noticed the rear tires are rubbing the fenders. KYB AGX are set to #3 in the rear and #2 in the front. I have Supra TT rims and 17/ZR/40/285 tires in the rear. What do you think is the problem and how can I fix it?

its rubbing because you're using aftermarket suspension and oversized tires

285 is too wide for a 9.5" rim... thats your problem
find a friend with 275s on his SupraTT; and see if those don't rub

or else the side profile is too tall; I think the SC3 and Supra have differing sidewall sizes...

I don't think so. I looked at other Supra TTs with Eibach and KYB AGX and their rear was higher than mine.

Did you try to change the setting in the rear?

Hmmmm. I don't know - play with the adjustments is all I would do. Good luck - let us know what you find out.

These are Supra TT stock rims. They are 17x8 and 17x9.5. Currently I have 235s in the front and 285s in the rear.

the 285 on the 9.5 in rim is fine.......your gonna need to trim out a little of the rear lip...i did it to mine....no big deal...used an air saw and trimmed it out..then sealed it so it wouldnt rust......i now have 295 35 18 rear tires on 18x9.5 rims....i know guys with 315 35 17 on stock 9.5 rims...not that its right but it can be done....i had 285s on my stock supra wheels....Jeff
