Suspension on my P1.
Suspension on my P1.
Ok what should I have on my P1, I have the 18” OZ alloys on but it seems to be rubbing on all 4 corners when I have a load in, 3 or more people!
I don’t know what im running at the moment but its Red and says Subaru on it!
Thanks for your help.

Sounds to me like you may have the wrong size tyres on. Should be 215/35/18 or 225/35/18.
The standard P1 suspension is very good - so maybe just new shocks will do the trick

If you have positive or very little negative camber the tyre can contact the edge of the wing more readily. If your car has high mileage the springs could have sagged and may need replacing. Would be worth getting the alignment checked.

ok thanks people, will check the alignment first but might have to look into the shocks first! The car has done around 43K so it might be getting to that age were it needs a bit of work!
