Default Lowering and stiff suspension i need help..

Hello... I just bought new 19 inch rims for my jaguar x type and I have a problem bcos the tires have friction and are destroyed at the edge, so I decided to lower it and stiff my suspension but I only know I need springs... So can u tell me what is the best to lower it and stiff my car, but not to expensive )) many thanks

if your tires already rub, lowering the car will probably only make it worse. What size tires are you running on the 19s?

I mean The Wheel arch is hitting my tyre when i hit a bump or put hole the arch is cutting into the edge of my tyre so that is why I need to stiffen... And the the tyre is 235/35/19 so pls tell me what parts I need to do it, lower it and stiffen...

I'm running 245/35/19s on mine and lowered it with KW coilovers but I had to do a LOT of work with a fender roller to get it to stop rubbing. I don't think lowering your car, even though it could stiffen the suspension, will stop it from rubbing, I think it would only make it worse.

Sounds like wrong offset wheels.
As the gentleman above said, lowering & stiffening WILL make it worse.
