Hi Everyone,
A few years back I had lowering springs installed on my 86 toyota corolla. Recently I needed to replace my tires and I got a good deal on a new set of tires and wheels. The new tires are are much bigger and the front tires tend rub against the wheel well when the car hits a bump or corners sharply.
I expected this and plan to put the stock springs back in the car. My question is do I need to replace all four springs or can i get away with just replacing the front springs? are the any advantages/disadvantages to doing this?
If there is any sanity in doing so I would like to just replace the front spings and see how the car drives... if it is no good then I'll could change the rear springs too.

hey dude all cars have this problem when you lower it.
What you need to do is take off the antenna
then remove the fender lights.
then remove the fenders and cut off all the metal on the inside"rolling" the fenders i did this on my GTS and it helped greatly.
