coilover troubleshooting :/
hi all, fitted my new coilovers last week, but on the drivers side the tyre rubs on the coilover and on the passenger side, the top of the damper(if thats what it is) pokes through the engine bay too far. any one know how to fix this?

Re: coilover troubleshooting :/
urm for scrubbing with coilovers you have to make sure the hubs pulled right out on the adjuster on the coilover mount, and make sure you're running 45 profile tyres, any larger and that will cause the tyre to bulge out which will make contact with your coilover as i found out. and as for sticking out to far take it off and make sure you'v put it all together correctly.

Re: coilover troubleshooting :/
camber correction bolts will help a lot, get them put in, lower it to where you want then get the tracking done again

Re: coilover troubleshooting :/
