As aove only when I have got back passengers though

Is there any way around this

I don't get this, but I'm assuming this might be because I have a new age and you have a classic?
I seem to recall a while back you could buy parts to stop your suspension bottoming out which you fit near the top of the suspension turrets - just like a rubber or plastic block. Prob. not the best solution, but I can't think of anything else to suggest - firmer springs perhaps? What are you running?

I had to roll my rear arches to get my 225/40/18s in.

Thanks for the rapid replys people

I'm running standard wrx ra springs n shocks, they may even be the original ones from 1994, they seem stiff and firm still .

Fine with no rear passengers but a nightmare with even 1 person.

My tyres are 215/35/18 if that helps.

Where do i look for these plastic things then matey?

Thanks again guys

Strange i ran 215/35/18 on my STI v3 no rubbing what so ever.

Hmm no rubbing at all? even with back passengers... Maybe its down to you having better "STi v3" suspension


Thanks "Kinghorn" il'll look for bump stops and give em a try

Nope none at all even with back passenge. Maybe your shock is worn and more play in it.

No rubbing here either, even with 2 or 3 passengers in the back.
I once tried 225 40s and they rubbed with passengers in, but no problem at all with 215 35s

I've got no rubbing either, running the same size tyres BTW. Sounds like the offset may be wrong by a couple of mm . The only way to sort it properly (IMHO) would be to get the rear arches rolled. Putting bigger bumpstops to lessen wheel travel will only upset the handling.

Handling... I guess it may upset it.

Mainly when cornering! ok in straight line,

poly bushes is that what they are?
