suspension?



<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>
<P>Hey Im at school now but when I get home tonight Ill measure my wheels, the ones that are on there stick pretty far out so im sure the offset is NOT stock.&nbsp; The wheels i just got will sit in about a quarter of an inch more.&nbsp; I measured the offset already, but I dont remember what it is.&nbsp; I already rolled the wheel wellls some, and I took out the front inner fender panels. Ill take a look at the shocks and springs and get back to you soon, Thanks for your help</P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;you mention the rims and need to check offset, but you failed to mention 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;what rims you had (with offset) and what rims you whent too (with new 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;offset) that stopped rubbing. I Had stock 13" tarantulas with offset I 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;beleive of 35 to ATS Cups 15x7" 4x100 28SM. on 205/50/15 Khumo's

<DIV></DIV>&gt;Hi guys, 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; I used to have big time rubbing problems with my old rims (Borbet M's). 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I found out the offset was wrong. I've since replaced them with Enkei's 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;with the proper offset and I have no problems. Offset on these cars is 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;crucial. Here's my setup that absolutely doesn't rub: 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;H+R Sport Springs 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Boge Turbogas Struts 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Enkei RS5 16" Rims 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;BFG 205-40-16 Euro TA's 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Neuspeed Front Tie Bar 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Eurosport Rear Tie Bar 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I get a pretty good ride (feels more like a mid-size in the way it takes 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;tar-strips) and I can carry three people easy. This is on a 16V too by the 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;way. Sits nice and low and is very good at AutoX. Easy on the pocket book 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;too. Anyways, hope the offset idea helps....

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; you fit 3 people in a scirocco, 2 in front and one lying down in the 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;back... 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; I never foudn anyone wanting to sit in the rear seats of a rocco 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; before...must be my age group thing, old folks don't like to perform 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; gymnastics inside a car to get in or out.. hehe 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; To answer your question, what suspension do you have on there (shocks and 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; springs)? 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; My 8v is NOT lowered and it rubs when I turn (due to 205/50's wide is 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;better 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; eh), but a bit of rubbing occurs when I take a texas dip (its a local road 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; thing) in the rear, or bad crack in the road in the front will rub 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;slightly 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; on the edge of the whell well.. I am planning to fold the edges.

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Hey I have an 87 8v rocco, i just got some new wheels and some 195/50/15 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; sumitomo tires. The car was lowered before I bought it and i like the 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;look, 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; but when I have more than one person in the car the tires tend to rub over 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; bumps. When i have 3 people in the car the rear tires will rub by just 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; speeding up, althought they are a 55 series tire, so that might make a 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; difference. Anyways, I like the look of the car and want it to stay low 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;but 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; i want to make the suspension stiffer...i think whoever put the suspension 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; on to lower it may have cut the springs but i havent checked it out. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Anyone 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; with any ideas on a good suspension (low and firm enough to autocross) for 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;a 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; pretty decent price please email me back! 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; --I am planning a throttle body and intake manifold and exhaust manifold 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; (4 into 2) upgrades...I will keep you all updated!!
