    question about suspension

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Ok just put on my Stasis coilovers and got the car realigned. I am rubbing a little bit in the front. It seems to be only the drivers side front. I have 19" rims with 235/35/19 tires. I was wondering whats the worst that can happen. Because the place that put them in is over an hour away and i dont wanna keep making trips back and forth. I dont get why i am rubbing only in the front becuase the back is lower. Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Worst that can happen is that you wear the tires and have a blow out unexpectedly on the highway.

    Re: question about suspension

    ^^ agreed.

    I dont know if the adjustments are reachable, but if they are I would suggest raising up a few mm, that would help.

    If you cant reach the adjustments, you can pay someone else or take it back to them

    As for the rubbing, it would take some time to damage the tire, but when you rub you can mess up the inner fender and what happen to me was that fender became sharp and started to cut into my tire. End result was a wasted tire that could have been prevented.

    i hope this helps

    Does anybody know what's the difference in the drop from a regular b7 premium package to a b7 s-line suspension?

    Please make a new post (but to answer your question, drop from an OEM non-sport susp car to OEM sport-susp is about 1").
