When I'm turning and I hit a bump my wheel goes up and hit my fender. Is that because of spring rate or what. 8k springs up front

This is great, helped me choose what suspension was right for my needs, saved me a lot of time.

** Quick Tip For Starts **
S13 / S14 / S15 guys/girls ~ Cost Efficient Coilover + Camber/Toe/Traction Arm.

Running a fully adjustable coilover along with just(to what i read when i first joined) Toe and Camber arm while trying to retain a 0 to ~ -2 degree rear camber adjustment on the rear does not work properly !!! invest the extra money in getting the Traction Rod along with both Toe & Camber arms.

I know many people currently run this setup but if you have an aggressive drop paired with a welded differential or some type of LSD/VLSD you will experience thumping/binding issues with your rear Toe arm tapping or bedding into the bottom hat of your coilover if you run this setup for a prolonged period of time and cause for crap snappy transitions during a manji or chokdori or even just taking aggressive turns. Eventually the OEM bushings inside your knuckle/housing and on the stock traction rod will or already are withered away and cause a fair amount of play in the rear. Picture for reference below(my car)

(uploading picture later tonight/morning)**

TL;DR - If I knew then what I know now I would have purchased the Traction rod ALONG with the TOE and CAMBER arms to run a somewhat proper cost efficient low car friendly / drift setup.

I have replaced all my arms and bushings with PBM arms/knuckles along with some SPL solid bushings/lockout kit/diffbushings at this point so I no longer have these issues besides the bedding marks on my lower coilover hat(just cosmetic at this point) and the difference is crazy. Also would like to add that daily driving a vehicle with a welded differential sucks ass, It is cost efficient way of easy drift car setup but you will constantly fight your car around corners with the retarded understeer issues or potential chance of oversteer in the rain, so just opt for a VLSD or even a proper 1.5/2-Way.

Thought about making a new thread but decided to try this first. Who is using air suspension on their s-chassis? What do y’all think of the various companies and specifically the pbm bag overs? I want bags on my daily to make it more driveable(Shit Nola roads) and comfortable but still want it to be responsive.
For future reference, no I’m not trying to air out everywhere I go and tuck mad rim yo like a mad jdm yo hotboi lol.
