i just install stance coilovers on my 89 super and while examining the car after the first test drive i noticed that the tires had rubbed the top so i need to raise the car a bit. i was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on ride hit cus i read through the stance instructions and it doesnt suggest anything.

No one will be able to answer this as it's dependant on each car and the way it's been setup, ie: Tire size/wheel offset/suspension settings and so on.

May as well ask "How long is a piece of string"

If it's just rubbing at the lumpy bits of the Liner you can heat them up with a heatgun and push them in a bit, I ran 265/35/18's on the front fairly low and did this to good effect.

he said the "rubbing the top". could be the top of the liner or top of the fender. i thought the fender

How long is a piece of string that I found while trying to lower my suspension so that it's as low as possible without going to low so that it rubs my inner liner while going over bumps but not in straight lines?
