I had the same problem with my stock springs. When I put new struts on the front i didn't get the spring to set in the right spot in the spring seat. The end of the spring wasn't sitting all the way to the end of the groove. You don't have to worry,,there's nothing wrong with your springs or nothing.

dunno about regular springs, but with the ground controls the fix is to grease the top perch. hope that helps. smile.gif

thats what i was gonna say




also the LBC.

bigger rims will help with the gap.

you could always cut a coil or 2 off of the springs.

I have 17's on my car and I think the wheels still look too small. The Celica has HUGE wheel arches!

I'm pretty happy with my wheel gap now. Any lower and I would be scraping on driveways and bumps in the road. . . not to mention, I still have smooth ride.

Oh yeah, and I also get that wierd rubbing noise on my passenger front when I turn the wheel all the way. Is the tire rubbing something?
