Previously I had posted a thread about looking for springs to stiffen my car to stop the rubbing I get when I hit humps, bumps, body roll around turns. Etc. Well the recommendations I got were all to use coilovers. Every set of coilovers I found lowered the car.... This doesn't do me any help at all. I got the ruff racing 279 rims with 265's in the rear and they slightly stick out onto the fender (I’m sure many have experienced this before). Can someone show me a link or a product that keeps stock ride height? Thanks a lot.

It sounds like you have two choices:

One - roll your rear fenders
Two - Get some wheels that fit you car's offset better .

Option one is your best bet if you like your wheels.

Coilovers are meant to lower the car. Period. They just offer varying heights. Stiffening the suspension will not fix your problem....the two above are your best bets

get some stiffer sway bars, Daizens are good from what I hear that does a world of a difference to stiffness
