Suspension
Has anyone ever had a problem with there rear suspension when there are 2 adults sitting in the back, there is no room between the top of the rear tyre and guard. Its constantly rubbing the tyres. I have put aftermarket rims on my car so it may have something to do with that.
If anyone has any ideas of what type of springs/shocks to buy because I rang up a suspension shop and not only did they never hear of an SVX, they didn't have a listing for them. Could there be another type of subaru springs I can use? Please help......

Maybe the rear strut mounts have worn out? How big are the wheels that you put on?

Looks like you've gone to a 17 or 18 inch rim....did you go with a lower profile tire (45 for the 17, 40 for the 18) to keep the overall diameter the same as the 225/50-16 stock set up? I'm going to guess that your aftermarket rims have a lot less offset than the stock 55mm offset. This could definitely be the root cause of your problem (okay, so the rear springs might also have a few miles on them...

I bet if you give me those rims for my stock rims things will be fine

My Rims are a 17" 235, 50, I think the offset is a bit lower. I need to know if any other Subaru model springs/shocks would fit my car.
And no my rims are not for sale
