Hi guys,

i've got an SS-II liftback with 17x7 inch wheels (ET38 with 13mm spacers so the offset is 25), 215/45R17 tyres, eibach pro-kit, standard type shocks all round, whiteline anti roll/sway bar at the rear set on medium,

i noticed today (when racing round the "track") at about 70mph i took a sharp left bend (90 degree curve) slightly bumpy road surface, the front right tyre rubbed on the arch liner a little,

how do you think i can counter the rubbing? barring taking off the spacers do you think setting the rear anti roll/sway bar to hard will counter it or do you suggest getting some stiffer shocks on the front?

any advice appreciated

Tom

Well if you're braking and taking a left turn, all of the momentum of the car is shifted to the front right corner, so rubbing is sort of a thing you get to deal with.


Ways to not rub:

Less of a drop - be it coilovers or different springs
Stiffer shocks
Larger sway bars, or switch the adjustment out to the stiffer setting on your current one.
