RamzisX Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Hi, please advise what to do, I have upgraded to 20'' wheels on non turbo Jspec 94' and have problems with oem soft suspension by wheels touching arches. Who knows what suspension would help and where to get it from without spending too much. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Removing the 20" wheels would be the best bet. Its hardly an upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dann Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I have 19" on mine but also got k sport suspension that is quite stiff even on its softest setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinus Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 got D2 ,same as K-sport and its indeed a hard suspension kit, but I think its very fine... stock suspension didnt give me a good feeling on the rear when getting in a corner with a bit speed, even turned the rear spring up for 1/2 an inch...

Homer Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 If it's rubbing on stock suspension you'll need to get some aftermarket kit with adjustable platforms & dampers. If they are rubbing under day to day driving it's going to be the first "raised" supra! If it's under cornering load then it's going to be a very stiff ride and not particularly nice to drive. Also, has it had a full suspension realignment since the wheel change? 20's are a very, very bad choice wheel for this car, the suspension gets exponentially worse when you move to 18's, let alone 20 inch wheels!

uestlove Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Im running 19" with Super STreets, but i want to sell them for some more aggresive coilovers for track duties. The Superstreets helped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbonut Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) 20's???!! It'll never handle that well with wheels so big, no matter what shocks/coilovers you put on anyway, your just throwing good money after bad. Have you had the arches rolled? Wide body rear panels or extended wheel arches are a possibility and would help, then you'd need mahooosive wheel spacers (more stress on the hubs = premature wear/failure) But for the cost of the work you'd be better off selling the 20's and buying 18's then fitting a decent set of coilovers.

Rich Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 ditch the rims and put some realistic wheels on! As said by others it will handle like a pile of poo with those wheels on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodilx6 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 how 'bout just filling your spings with rubber stoppers, that'll add to the "big wheels feeling" - could you fit lower tires? probably worsen the ride though. Or maybe shave the fenders like people do when they wanna fit 335 or other crazy sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Did someone call for a chav? 20" wheels are about the furthest you can get from an upgrade. In fact, you've just fucked up your cars handling. No amount of "tight" suspension will help. What do you mean "tight" anyway? Like a tiger?
