Hey guys,

Lowered my car at the weekend, drives like a dream, harder ride, sticks to the road more and feels a lot more responsive, only problem is under heavy cornering I'm getting really bad rubbing and I'm not sure where.

I think it's rubbing on the top of the arch, so when the wheel's turned and it's under load, and it rubs on there.

The car is lowered on coilovers and i'm not sure if it's a case of some camber + rolled arches, as I've seen cars running a lot lower than mine without problems, or a case of getting some smaller wheels?

Car isn't even that low, so can't really understand it. Don't know the brand of the coilovers so will check when i get home.

so wait are your fenders rolled? if not you might want to do that, and yeah some negative camber wont be too bad, try running -1.5 camber thats what im doing.

also do you have stock shocks/struts?

yeah roll the fenders

what offset/size wheels & tires?

RUBBING FTW!!!

Running ET40 on 17s, tyres're 205/40/17s and it's lowered on coilovers.

I love the stance now, want a bit more offset on the rear [was thining some 5mm spacers] but at the front I daren't drive it round corners fast any more

17" are more prone to rub than 15" because you have a more square tire on 17" with the smaller sidewall than you would with 15" or even 16".

So would smaller wheels be a way around this, or spacers + rolled arches and a bit of camber?
