I'm posting here because I'm new. If that's not right, please point me to where I should be.
97 Eclipse Spyder, N/T, widebody, Sweeeeet!
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.
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
