Front Coilovers Done!

[FuelSlut]

So Im finally finished, I decided to leave the car at 26 5/8, this is from flat floor to fender. Im going to wait a week let the springs settle, and then lower it a little more if I need to to 26 1/2.

The only problem that I have is when my wheel is fully turned in left or right position my rim/weight is scraping on the a arm. What the hell am I gonna do about that. Last pic shows the paint peel. Part of the rim is touching as well It polished the lip on the inside of the rim.

Switch to tape weights.. Will remove the weights from the inner lip. By chance are your front tires cupped?

maybe put on some rack limiters?

Yes I was planning on this. Besides my tire being a curb rash protector Im not sure about being cupped. What exactly is cupped?

Run your hands across the edge of the tread, if it's not smooth it's cupped. With each tread block you'll feel a bump. There's nothing you can do about it with staggered fitment directional tires. It'll start to get loud eventually, but yours don't look bad.

id put an 1/8" spacer instead of 1/4" and see if that works first.. i had the same problem but the wheel was rubbing the spring..and im at 26 1/4" ride heght with 17" rims

your car looks sweet

yes .. 1/8 spacer used your rub appears to be very minimal by looking at the pics... if you are at the steering lock or very very close to lock when it starts to rub than an 1/8 should work..but if you hit long before, then it might not be enough.

also make sure your camber is correct too..that will have minimal effect on clearance , but every bit helps
