Rubbing front tyres ep82

[turbo-fever]

Spec first I'm running bc coilovers nearly wound down all the way, 195 45 15 toyos on 15" buddyclub alloys 6.5j there is still about 3/4 between tyre and arch and dampening is set to about 24 clicks. When I was going round the ring and cornering to hard would make the tyres rub the arch ? Should I change spring preload ? And don't say raise it up lol I see a lot lower cars cornering without rubbing so must be a solution

get stiffer springs in there only option if you want to keep the lows

[turbo-fever]

Is there much weight difference between a 4e and 5e block ? As running 6kg springs at the front. What's everyone else running?

[5e colin]

not that much no how much clearance is between your arch and wheel

[turbo-fever]

Wondered if it's because of the 5e and sorry there's about 3/4 inch

[5e colin]

thats not much room if your under heavy load 15mm travel + -

you could try to tighten the pre loads a bit up front

[turbo-fever]

Would that be compressing the spring more or less ?

[Starlet__SR]

Why not give yourself a little more ride height? That way you can let the suspension do its job more efficiently, better contact with the road too.

more as it will tighten up so drop less when compressed bit of art work as it wont be set first time doing it

doo it first on drivers side to where it stops rubbing then do passo side to level the car again ....... will need to be aligned again

Roll your arches and run a bit more negative camber, GT ones are a bitch

Will give it a try cheers, I know raising it would be be easier but I like low stance.

How do you roll them ? As the body kit screws to it ?

[Amjad]

You have to also trim the arch trims, and then tigerseal it back. I didn't bother putting mine back onas the clearance is still tight
