Ok I installed the coilovers from my clip, and the difference is sttuuuuupendous it tracks so well....un fortunately they rub esp when turning and theres chassis roll...the rub is the coilovers against the inside of the rimwhat to do? heres some pics the tires are 215/45/17 and the rims are 17x(idont know..im assuming 7)So do i need spacers?

Dude I have 4 firefighters in the fam...much respect for yallSo yeah I had the tire shop put in my rear coilovers...and wow what a difference!Its such a great ride.So anyway, they said that it was tough to put spacers on because my studs were not long enough. So they ordered a set of ET lug nuts, i guess they are a very small outside diameter, and that should allow me to do a spacer. They will be here tomorrow, im excited to be able to take a corner!!!thanks for your help.
