Default Not another coilover thread but....

What's good everyone, Just want to say I appreciate all the help I've got here over the years. I finally through some staggered 20's on my car. I'm running on my old espelier springs/KYB combo and I've noticed that the car is lower on the driver side. I thought I was going crazy but after doing a search others have noticed it also. Well basically the wheels rub only on that driver side front 20x8 1/2 245, 35, 20 tire. Mainly going over dips which is annoying. The espelier springs are soft like stock and maybe I need to a stiffer shock. No rub at all in the rear (285, 30, 20). I don't really want to roll the fenders because the passenger side is fine. I'm debating should I change my KYB for Bilstein sp, or just go for the Bilstein PSS, Megan's, Apexi, or maybe the Stance's (but that's more bread). Anyone notice the price difference from $850 (way back when) to $1375 (Bilstein PSS). Can anyone still get the PSS for this price.

I did a search and read the Apexi's don't drop really low, is this true? if so that is a waste unless you add on the exactmotorsports camber kit to drop it further. I'm caught....


Thanks yall... maybe I'll just go with Bilstein Sp and get a lip..... I don't know.

I just sold my Stance's brand new last week.

I dont know too much about the other brands listed, but some people seem to dislike Megan Coils..
