How to stiffen suspension on 1993 Nissan Sentra?
I have a 1993 Sentra. I bought some 15" rims and put 195/55 R15 tires on them. I then put spacers on the front and back to widen the stance a little. The car handles much better, but when I hit a hard bump or I have passengers in the car, the rear tires will rub the outer fenders. I need to stiffen up the rear suspension a little, but I'm not sure what to do? I've heard of adjustable struts, and also using air shocks. i'm not sure if either will work, or if they both work, which will work better? Or is there something entirely different I need to do? If any of you have experience with this, I'd appreciate some help here.
By the way, I am only interested in stiffening up the rear, the front is fine.
Thanks!

Spacers are not a good idea, they're just not. 195/50s would be the way to go in your case, the 55s are too tall. It sounds like you need to go to stiffer springs and adjustable struts, or get thinner friends...
Strut tower braces don't hurt the ride, they only make the suspension do it's job more effectively. Generally a ride improvement is found by their installation.
Sway bars only deal with side-to-side weight transfer, which is not the problem in your case.
