I have Neuspeed sport springs and koni struts/shocks. I was already told by one shop that the front passenger side strut was blown. But on this trip to Florida and Atlanta, from NH, the back would hit really hard everytime the highway level changed for construction. Also, my 215/45/17s never rubbed in the back to the point that they could be heard. I mean I think with rear passengers they probably did rub slightly and hit hard, but you could never hear it. In Florida I had like 4 guys in the back and the rear wheels grated with alot of noise. You could see on the tire where it wore some rubber off, not a big deal though, just a few mm of rubber. The point however is that I now think that my rears are probably blown. Last night and today, however, a new problem, and a more alarming one, began. Whenever I turn the wheel to enter a parking space, pull a uturn, it sounds like the front driver side wheel is scraping against something. I couldn't find anything that it was scrapping against, but it was an awful noise. Any ideas?? I am thinking I am gonna have to replace everything. If the Koni's are under warrenty and I can get new ones, I will just sell the new ones. I want a different setup. Maybe those new tokicos. This one clearly is not capible of handling real road conditions over more than say a year.

thats weird cause even stock shocks can handle neuspeed sports better than that. Just get them replaced... the rear, just roll the fenders a little or if you have a camber kit, put a little bit more negative camber..
the front i have no clue. I would think its scrapping but then its only neuspeed sports. how much of a gap do you have up front?

1.75 front, 1.5 rear I believe. Could my springs be bad?

How do you know they are blown?

A “shop” told you? The “shop” will tell you anything to make money off your ***…

Test them yourself if they are in fact blown

MY Tokico's and Neuspeed Race just made a 1000+ mile trip to Miami. I'm on 215/40/17's and had no problems whatsoever. I would doubt that the Koni's are blown but then again I did have a friend that one of her fronts went out.
