Default Quick question for anyone with Tein CS and 20s

Whats up People?!?

Hey I'm wondering if any of you guys are experiencing any major rubbing issues with your Tein CS coilover system with the 20 inch wheels and tires??

Also what size tire, wheel and offset do you have?

And how low are you??

I didnt have any rubbing with my old wheels, but with my iForged there was a bit of rubbing in the front on the plastic liner. So I just shaved it down a bit and now no rubbing. My tire is 245/35/20 Toyo T1-R and I am about barely 1 finger gap in front. Not sure of the offset though

Default tein cs with fat 19" setup also rubs on dips

my tein cs with fat 19" setup also rubs on dips. I have them set on stiffest setting and I've increased to 1.5-2 fingers and only rub occasionally. I had it at about 1 finger and it looked great but the bouncing on dips was driving me nuts so I raised it some. Should I have purchased the flex for lower without bouncing?

No. The ride characteristics of the Flex and CS are different. If you like how the CS rides, you will not be happy with going to the Flex just to reduce the rubbing,

My fronts are 20x8.5 +43 with 1-1.5 finger gap. Rubs the top on big dips and one full lock turns. With the full lock turn rubs, I just need to work the fender lip a little more.
