Reply With Quotewhat tyres are you running, michelins are known to scrape, pirellis on the front eliminated the scrape on a number of 202`s with 18" monos.
as for the rear, normally rubs a little on the piece near the rear door, this can be bent back a bit by hand.
I have H&R's, New Bilstein sports,#4 pads,18 inch mono's and the car scrapes like hell front and back! Anybody know of any special coilovers or something that would improve my situation?

Are you scraping the tires onto the fender? Or are you scraping the road/speed bumps/driveway slants, etc.?

Are your tires tucked up into the fenders, or is there clearence (if so how much)? I know alot of people here are running the same tire size with no problems (including myself). What is the offset of your wheels?

I just bought the exact same size tires and 18 inch rims. I do not know if you lowered your car but when pop these rims in around March I certainly hope that they do not rub. I am keeping the stock suspension just to be safe.
Add some bump stop on the shocks to limit the wheel travel.
this was my situation half a year ago:
i had H&R cup kits, 17" front 215 and back 225. scraped like hell, almost on all curves.
went to check, they installed the suspension wrong ( front to back, and back to front ) got them replaced. no more scraping.
check if you have them correctly installed, you never know.
good luck,
yusuke.
