Rubbing - and not the good kind - 3/9/2007 2:06:35 PM    SRT_YA Posts: 1458 Joined: 4/13/2004 From: Michigan - Arctic North Status: offline Here's the setup: 04 SRT S3 Mopar Coilovers (dropped to the lowest setting for fronts, about 1/4 inch or so up in the rear) Kazera 18x7.5" rims BFG 225/40ZR18 tires all around "budget" sway bar mod (aka the PT Cruiser route) rear tension bars adjustments on coilovers to "medium" setting (aka, not too hard, not too soft) Problem: My rear rubs when I throw the car into a corner... the lip on the rear fender well digs into my tire... leaves a nice mark... and if you transition qiuckly, it actually makes the car feel a little "loose"... any ideas short of raising the heck out of the back of my car??? the two ideas I have - "roll" the inner fender (which scares me!) raise the car up some (which might be the solution I really need, but hate due to me liking the stance) if you have any other ideas / suggestions - please let me know.  thanks! _____________________________ "--MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE--" http://myspace.com/slo_neon Post #: 1

Probly no room for that either.... But rolling the inner fender is a little risky body wise and wount gain that much I would think. I don't know how much you need but maybe a different offset will work?  _____________________________ My Srt4 13.19 @ 106 2.04 (60) on street tires 12.85 @ 105 1.88 (60) on slicks ^^Ha got the Charger beat^^ My mopar 528ci S & W Dragster 7.59 @ 187 1.08 (60) big slicks DUH Parents Srt8 Charger 12.98 @ 108 1.97 (60) on street tires (in reply to SRT_YA) Post #: 2
