Ready to race!
I'm running 245/35R18 PSS tires on 18x8 et45 wheels, and of course no rubbing issues whatsoever at stock height with fender screw mod, but I'm considering coilovers due to OEM struts feeling pretty worn after 145k miles.
Question is about the maximum ride height on different coilovers. I'm drawn to the ST X coilovers as an entry level option, but I've seen some mixed info about how high you can set them for minimum lowering for max tire clearance. Tire rack suggests min drop is like 0.5" which should be fine, but I've seen other sources showing a min drop of closer to 1.5" which according to the old golfmkv.com fitment chart would cause issues at 245 section width.
I know this may sound foreign to a lot of guys leaning towards more stance, but I do occasionally autocross so I'm looking for more functional information.
Can the ST X coilovers be set high enough to avoid rubbing with my wheel/tire combo without pulling/rolling? What are some other coilover options that aren't too low to cause issues?
