I'm posting here because I'm new. If that's not right, please point me to where I should be.

:cool:

I just got my car back from EXTREME Motorsports in MD (shop of the famed racer Sean Glazer) and I have a few concerns that I didn't get a good feel about while at the shop.

They installed:
Koni - Yellows and Eibach Pro-kit. $1000 later I have a lower ride that rubs only on the driver side. All four corners look low, but the driver front is bad. In addition to the new set-up, I already had:
AEM Big Brake w/caliper relocation, 18inch HP Evo w/ 235/40ZR18 and (front) and 245/40ZR18 (rear)

Before the Strut/spring upgrade, I had stock struts with Cheap coil-over springs (Arospeed)which did not rub, but the ride was horrible. Now the ride is great but the occasional rub is hurting. :cry:

I am deffinately keeping the Konis I even stiffened the Driver's front and it helped, but I rub bad!

I was already advised to take a Dremmel to the kit in the wheel-well area, but I know the ride height is the top fix. If I can correct that, I'm at the 90% solution.

Bottom line, is there any way to raise the car or should I nix the Pro-kit and get (good) Coil-overs springs (SKUNK) to regain a bit of the height?


Thanks,
Mace
 
You could try those rubber spring spacer thingies they sell at most auto parts stores. I've never used them but it might work for you.

And your post is fine here. As a newbie you can post in any of the three General Tech forums and site feedback. That's about it. Stick around for a while get a few posts and some rep points and you'll be able to post anywhere.
