--HELP-- SPRING problem
ok i just installed my neuspeed sports and i'm having problems with the rear. heres the problem.....everytime the car bounces i hear a scraping sound coming from the rear of the car. i don't think its scraping the ground or anything cuz its not that low. i think when it bounces my tires are hitting the rear fender piece (the top of that). i dunno if i messed up the rears somehow but i have 215/40/18 tires. i have a rear camber kit thats alligned. should i put a negative camber in hte rear so it doesn't hit that? i have a 1.5 finger gap in hte front and a very snug 1.3 or so finger gap in the rear. whats up. i have no system. could i have put a piece from hte strut assembly in hte wrong place. whats running a rear camber with a drop? and whats up.

Are the outer edges of your tires rubbed off from scraping the fender? When you installed the rear struts after putting on the springs, did you make sure that the little dot on top of the strut mounting bracket were facing inwards?

Rep Power: 416 did the drop even out? cause i remember you said you had 0 on the drivers side and 2 finger gap on the passenger side.. or was it cause you did forget that peice?
well try pushing down on the car, see if the tire rubs against the fender lip. if it does, i would just roll it a little.

Rep Power: 323 heres a good way to load up your suspension in the rear and see if it rubs. Get a jack...not the stock one... and use one of the front jack points and pump away. as you raise this corner it will put more wieght on the rear oppisite corner. Raise it up and take a look. If it rubs you will either have to turn in your rear camber kits evenly on both sides until it does not rub, and rotate them more often. or get smaller tires that will clear.
