when i nail the throttle coming out of a turn and the wheels actually hook up (which is rare) as the car squats and takes off i get some pretty loud rubbing on my outside rear tire. i had thought putting the new bilstein HDs in it would help but it still happens. the car is stock springs, actually looks to be sitting a tad high. anyone else get this problem? and what part of the fender needs to be clearanced to stop it? im pretty sure its the original springs with 100k on them, but it rides fine. stock 16x8 inch rim with 245/50s on it.

i was under it a few days ago and they looked a litlte dry rotted and cracked, but still had the basic shape still. how much do you think they woudl cost on average at an auto parts store or at a dealer? or how much do you get them for?

13.00 dollars each if you pay full price. you should be able to get 2 for that price if you sweet talk'em.
