if your car is lowered on only spring,

and it dips so hard and rubs everytime you hit bump or uneven road.
does it make sense to get a coilover to stiffen a car ?? of course lowering more is second option if its installed.

I'm on Eibach PK's and have rubbing issues.

I would think coilovers to stiffen the spring would help. But ride quality would greatly suffer.

^^^I've only heard good things about coils as compared to springs especially in terms of ride comfort, from those whom went from springs to coils.

I bought my G used and it came with rims and falkan tires. Not sure what they did with the springs or if they even replaced them. But I get rubbing when I have 4 people in the car or if I go over a dip in the freeway. I am concerned and wondering what I could do to help this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Get the tanabe pro-s0c and call it a day... that's what I did lol. It's pretty nice and comfy for every day driving...
