I just brought a set of dropzone adjustable coilovers. I wanted to know if my tires would hit the quarter panel or fender? I have 15 inch rims with 195/60/15. I know if i put like 195/50/15 or something like that it won't hit, So would it hit the fender or quarter panel if i lower it too much? I have a eg hatch 92. I don't want to spend more $$$ putting on new tires. How's the ride on dropzone coilovers with springs and shocks? Are they bouncy? I don't want a bouncy ride. I want a soft ride so when i go over bumps or so i won't be riding like a boat. Has anyone had dropzone coilovers before? If so how do u like it. I don't really care much about the handling anyways, I just want the look and not a bouncy ride. Would those coilovers give me that? If anyone can reply me that would be great thanx.

Also would i need a camber kit after lowering it because i don't want my tires to wear out? Do i need it for the front and back or just front or just back? Help me out someone thanx.

with 15's u should never rub on the fenders, unless u absoutly slammed the thing.

15's with a 60 series tire have same diametre overall as 17's. 195/60/15 is 24.1" overall diametre, 205/40/17 is 23.5" overall diametre, so its like lowering on 17's depending on the rim width.

if 15x6 rim would think it would not rub at all, 15x7 only if lowered like 2" or more and when turned all the way.

on a side note, with 60 series sidewall's you'll get the boatlike ride.

How do u get a boatlike ride on a 60's? The higher the better the smoother the ride isn't it? The lower the profile the more stiff the ride and more noiser rite? So your saying the lower the profile the better the ride? Let me know if that's true. I'm kind of confused. How do u know if it is 15x6 or 15x7? I have the premium acura EL 97 turtle rims. So would that hit the fender or quarter panel when i turn?

the lower the profile the tighter and stiffer turns you can make without swaying. The higher the sidewall them more distance ur rims can travel back and fourth

higher profile would be softer (boatlike) ride but will be much less responsive then a 40 series sidewall. 60 series will be quiet and much more comfortable then a 40 series tire. so by the sounds of it, you want a comfortable ride, more luxury oriented then 60 series sidewall is what you want.

EL rims should be 15x6 i believe, will say on the lip of the rim 15x6JJ i think it says, so it'd be 15x6. read the rim to get forsure.

as for whether it will hit, again this really depends on how low your going to lower it. slam it 3" and yes it will rub, 2" probably only when turned sharp, like fully turned, 1.75" probably won't rub at all.
