the rear bumper tab is the little corner of the bumper on the inside of the wheel well where it meets the quarter. if you don't do it it will simply trim itself, not a problem you'll just hear rubbing noises at times under compression....which is also a big difference. if you have shit BC suspension you have no suspension travel you won't rub.

You see my setup, the ONLY times i rubbed are full lock, and even then it was a maybe.

if you stick to a 40 offset and a 265/35 you'll be fine if not slammed.

an all you people in here worried about rubbing, think to yourself, how often do you go full lock, I hardly ever did/do.

Thanks for the answer!



I hate to break it to you, but you will continue to get re-posts of the same question no matter what you do. Each persons suspension will be different, hence the desire to get validation for their own vehicle from others who are way more experienced in this specific trade.


Not to mention I myself am a visual learner, so I am trying to picture where exactly this will happen and the long-term detriments of it. More-so I didn't fully understand why everyone was opting to go 2xx/35 vs 2xx/40 until the other shoe dropped for me.



But thanks for the advice nonetheless!

totally understood, but i think its because most don't understand that most coilovers will give you same inner clearance.

the recipe doesn't change because the parts names change, thats why we post alignment and fitment specs.

as for the tires, i can understand where its confusing. just remember that the second number is an ASPECT of the first number. so a 265/35 will be smaller sidewall than a 265/40. (for example when i ran meaty fitment on my sti, a 275/35 had the same diameter/sidewall as a 245/40 due to the aspect ratio.

on these cars if you want meaty fitment on an 18' you should do 265/35 (or 255/35 if tires run meaty) or on a 17 i would do a 255/40 (for the super meaty sidewall look).

265/35 MPSS
18 in x 9.5 Square Setup
Volk TE37's
MCA Coilovers

Some negative added on front and rears through lowering and alignment. No rear LCA or camber bolts etc upfront.

Would have loved to go lower but can't.

Full lock I have rubbing up front with the coilover but not the fender.
Rear right tyre is rubbing against fender on big dips at speed. Not rubbing the lining though.

I wonder if stiffening the dampers/springs would help?

Car handles extremely well on the ends. Very comfortable ride overall and still loses traction in first. (Car has FI)

Finally got it all together.

Specs:
Wheels: Titan 7 T-S5 18x9.5 +40 square setup
Tires: michelin pilot sport 4s 255/35r18

Suspension Parts needed for build:
Coilovers: Tein flex Z (at factory shipped height specs.)
LCA’s: SPC adjustable lower control arms
Rear Toe arms: SPC toe arms

I ended up needing rear toe arms to correct the toe as the factory specs didn’t allow me to. Just a heads up for anyone running this type of setup. The drop is approximately .8 inches all around, and there is no rubbing that has been noticed yet. Atleast none on full lock.

Shout out to @Leonardo, @Jive Turkey, @JoeC and @CSG Mike for being patient enough to work with me / help me understand.

Wow, looking great! Do the wheels have enough clearance from the PP Brembo calipers, or did you need any spacers?

Why would you need to correct toe? Seems odd. What are your camber setting?

It looks great!

camber settings are around -1.3 all around.

So the stock toe correction left me a difference of 1.5 degrees in the back, and I did not get the toe kit with the SPC LCA's.

However, the toe arms remediated the toe issues, and they are both at like .08 degrees.
