Any fender rub on sharp turns on the front end?
I've done a lot a research and some trial and error on the springs. Current combo are TRW replacemt springs for an S10 #5660 with one coil cut off. Rears are stock V6 springs. I have some Trans Am WS6 springs that I will install on the rear and trim to dedired height. These springs only have the pigtail on one end. I want to bring it down some.

I tried Hotchkiss springs but did not like the fit in the front. Coil daimeter to wide to seat down in lower A-arm.

The only tire rub I get is on a full lock turn and only on the driver's side but its only at the lower rear of the inner fender and very slight. This is with 15x7 Rallye IIs with 4.25" backspace and 12mm spacers. Tires are 205R65-15. Rears are 15x8 4" backspace with 235R60-15. Tried 15x8 up front with both tires sizes listed above. Both rubbed.

I have a pair of 14x7 Ralley IIs and plan to try them with 235R60-14 up front.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Bill
