Help me decide what to do!
Hi guys,
I'm looking for your advice in deciding what to do next. I've considered a few options, which I'll list here. Please let me know what you think!
Problem: Front wheels rub on inner fender liner on stock springs/shocks when driving over dips, and teeth-chattering ride quality
Goal: Eliminate wheel rubbing and improve ride quality on the street at a reasonable cost
Possible solutions:
Car specs: '93 Touring with Stock springs, stock shocks, 18x8" +40mm Enkei wheels (~24lbs?), 225/35R18 BFG COMP-2 (front), 235/35R18 BFG COMP-2 (rear), 57k miles on suspension and bushings, rear toe links with metal-on-metal joints, ride height is a tad lower than stock due to smaller diameter tires
Thanks!

Possible solutions:
- Ohlins DFV coilovers with standard 11k/11k spring rate
- Aftermarket (Eibach, other?) springs with higher spring rate and adjustable shocks (Tokico, Tein, other?), would need spring rate to be sufficient to counter-act the drop in ride height compared to stock springs
- Buy a set of stock wheels and stock tires (my 225 BFGs run wide)
