    question : HR SS + Koni + 19" rubbing?

    This seems rather odd...

    I had 2 people in the back seat, my friend whose about 180 lbs on the passenger side rear, and his wife who is maybe 110 lbs behind me (let's be safe here...I don't want this thread found and get flamed). Another guy my size (200 lbs) in the front passenger. Most of the weight was on the passenger side.

    When I made right turn out of a driveway, oddly the driver side rear sounded like it bottomed out...

    Odd, I had 19" rims before, got a new set of V803's. I had 18" winter tires on over the winter, and also had the Koni's replaced over the winter, so this is the first time I ran 19"s with the 'upgraded' shocks.
    Obviously, this resulted in my friends wife receiving a number of fat jokes, but to me really...this doesn't sound right. Thoughts? I had it looked at this afternoon by the dealership while they were investigating another issue, and they said it looks like its bottoming out but everything is tight...

    SS are pretty aggressive drop wise, and with a car loaded with 4 adults, I can't say I'm surprised to hear it rubbed on a corner.

    What wheel width/offset and tires size are you running?
