Default Need Advice

I am currently running on Tein S lowering Springs and it's about a 1" drop. However I am rubbing on my fenders with my 245 18's, even after having fenders rolled. I am undecided to go back to stock and save my new tires from rubbing or go with Coilovers. I like the ride height now but don't want to pay an arm and leg on Coilovers especially when I don't track my car. Do Coilovers go on sale anywhere?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Cheers
Sean

I'd be thinking a more aggressive alignment with increased camber to maximum.

what is the tire profile? 35? 40?

Try increasing the camber, but you will wear the insides of the tires faster than the outside.

You may also lose a bit of straight line stability.

If I were you, I'd look at a set of HSDs. About $1300 from JRP and easy to install.

Then you can set your ride height to suit.

What offset and width are the wheels? If they are too aggressive there might not be anything you can do even with camber.

Width and offset will help us give you more advise.

Are you rubbing in the rear? Guarantee you're rubbing on the rear bumper tab if you haven't cut/bent it out of the way enough or trimmed enough bumper off. Highly doubt it's the front as I'm tucking 255's and don't rub ever.
