i can´t drive out of my garage,the front wheels rubbing so much.

195/50R15 are to broadly
i hope 195/45 R15 are smaller/lower.
but is the handling good with so much
sorry i dont know the word "camber" ? \
i think i buy 40mm h&r spring
or someone know a better/cheaper mark?

I'm sure I tried to click on the earlier and they weren't linked to anything. I think you've been changing things
15s are known to rub with 195/50 tyres, they have to be 45 profiles. It does look a bit low. Camber is the correct word, if you mean your wheels are angled inwards to the top. The camber shouldn't be bad with a 40mm drop.

frankly I wouldn't go lower than 35 - 40 mm but it all depends what you mean by quality handling and ride quality.................
again you can have any size wheel you want but much more than a 16 and you'll be seeing torque steer for sure. 15's are where it's at imho

weekend car and fun car

http://www.directupload.net/show/d/450/A89EQCjb.jpg
but which springs should i buy?
which tyre has the best grip?
i use the erst gearbox,but i want nevertheless very good tyres/slick
with the fcukc powertech springs my wheels have very much camber,
i think the wheel use only a small stripe inside

iv had 2 mk3 fezzas,
1. Dropped 60mm on G-max shocks and springs. abit to low for me. had 15 / 45 / 195 wheels. could only take 1 passenger and when i had sub and amp in boot. it was hard to take people in the back [ERRR] it would rub on arches.
2. Dropped 35mm with 15 / 45 / 195 wheels. i have no rubbing at all, and the ride high and handling is better.
