im looking to put some global west coil spring spacers on my rear springs. trying to research all solutions to my fender rubbing. my rear is stock except for the 17x11 wheels. the question is will these work with a stock camaro suspension. the spacers will raise the rear about an inch and hopefully will end the rubbing. let me know what you guys think and if you have them installed on your cars

im going to look at getting new isolators as well wonder if the combo will do the trick or just go with one or the other

Let me know what you find. I'm having the same problem right now. I'm first going to try air shocks and see what that does for them.

Moog 5665 rear springs will jack the rear up an inch plus.

whats so bad about air shocks?

they put the entire weight of the car on the thin little piece of sheetmetal in the rear shock tower. That spot was never designed to support the weight of the car. It will eventually tear out.
