Any ISSUES with lowering springs on track??

[StingertimeNC]

I'm probably not in tune with the car enough to really notice the additional torque steer from the rims and springs and stuff. Although I don't auto-cross or drive really hard at low speeds. I pretty much drive fast in longer sweeping turns and do real heavy acceleration with less steering input.

Along this thread lines, has anyone ran H&R springs in TEs 19x9.5 with +36 offset ?

+36 turns out pretty aggressive so I am concerned that under cornering / braking it could rub. It'll either be perfect.... or rub a little.

So I'm running a +45 offset, but with 275 tires. The extra 10mm tire width being split side to side means I'm essentially the same as a +40 offset, with 265 tires, right? Not sure if anyone knows or can explain this, but is my logic sound?

Also the guys at AHC Garage (youtube) are running a 19 x 9.5 Vossen rim that's +40, and they're lowered. With -2 degrees of camber it's a big maybe on the TE's. Not sure there's room for a +36. I would search Te37 on Integra Type S on youtube and see what you come up with. Seems to me there's one guy running them who's lowered, but can't remember his name. So basically I'm no help, LOL.

Your logic is sound. Those will be the same clearance on the outside, and tighter on the inside, but the inside won't be a problem, since you moved the wheels out from stock. I think the only ill effects will be more torque steer, since you've moved the front tires 20mm further from the steering axis.

Net of all of that, your outer edge will be 25mm (1") further out than stock.
