I've got 40mm Apex lowering springs on my corsa,
but when ive got 2 or 3 people in the back the tyre rubs off the car! (especially over bumps)

afew guys have told me to get dampers or something..
anyone else had this problem?
what should i do/get to solve this?!

cheers!

get smaller wheels with the rite offset or flair the rear arches out! personally id just get the correct wheels for it mate.as flairing the arches out is a harded job todo it right

get an angel grinder on the inside of the plastic and metal trim, should sort it, of like the man said get the small wheel with right ofset

get proper vx alloys mine dont rub at all and i got 15inch astra/veccy alloys on mine

hmm i dont think its down to my wheels, they're only 15" anyway..

well that would depend on the offset of the wheels, what wheels have you got on your car?

i had some 15's that rubbed due to being wrong offset! changed for vxl 15" softstars, no longer rub.

i got 60mm wid 14inch corsa sport alloys no rubbin

its just when people get in the back.. the back end drops a good few inches more and over bumps it bounces down more and scrapes
what are the things that only allow your springs to compress a certain amount? will they not help? (if they exist!)

yo exist but there crud mate there rubber inserts that u get from hallfords that stiffin up the ride but ur car will handle like a bus lol just get decent wheels mate ac droped mine 60mm and can have a full car (4 in the back once ) hehe and it didnt rub once. ur wheels may only be 15" but if the offset is wrong ( how far the wheels stickes out from the hub) it will rub so get some gd wheels like cavy gsi wheels or sumin off a vaux standerd ul get them no probs and usualy not to dear depending on wt u buy (or how tight the seller is) hehe good luck what ever u do

u are aware that most speed humps in the uk are designed so u hit em at 17mph and then u shouldnt get jumpy goin ova them. Just slow down when u got mates in the car goin ova humps and it wont scrape. are u sure it the wheels scrappin and not the chassis? see it all the time cos there loads of speed bumps on m road and taxis dont seem to care for slowin down at night

just splash out mate and get coilovers
