whats up guys. i had the guys adjust the dampening at 8/15 and its pretty slammed.

but when i turn, i hear a rubbing on the front right only...anyone know what it can be? there is a screw drilled into the middle of the inside fender...which i think holds the inner molding, you guys think that's it?

I was rubbing on the screw too, that is not a good sign.
Raise the front up a tad.

yes u can remove the screw and it will take care of the problem. make sure you take it out before its too late. i had mine dropped a tad too low and going up my driveway i put the screw into the inner fender and it cracked my paint on the fender lip, PITA. so i just took em all out. BTW if u plan to road race or auto-X ur car u will destroy the fender plastics, trust me

So I can remove that screw and nothing else will fall out?

yep, i have been that way for about 3500 miles and some road racing and auto-x. hasnt budged. although i did take the fender plastics and shove them above where the screw goes into to secure them. they felt fine even before i did that

Joe, where's the pics? I wanna see what the ride height is set at to see this problem of rubbing.

What is the fender plastic that you were talking about?

damn
ur ****'s lower than mine! prob bout an inch lower. yall must have some good roads in IL. Not so here in New orleans

joe645733

is that like, rediculously low? cuz ive seen some low cars.

im on 19"'s all around. 285's in the rear, but i dont hear anything in the rear.

just the front right. it almost sounds like im hitting something above the wheel..not too sure. but the only noise i hear, comes from the front right. and i remember when i changed one of the bulbs, i kinda messed up on putting the modling back, and that screw sticks out a bit more than the other. im also gonna put the dampening settings to 10/15 instead of 8/15. ride's still too soft.

we dont have very good roads. areas where i live are fine. but im gonna have to take a different route to work haha.

here is how low mine is

j1234

iTrader: (5)

the rears are identical the front is way lower tho, ur car looks great though, well done!

joe645733

iTrader: (3)

i know it looks good lol.

but do you think stiffening the ride will possibly reduce noise?

cuz i really wanna keep it!!! my is hitting just about everything, but i dont really care.

joe645733

iTrader: (3)

ya i got u there dude haha.

idk, im making final changes tommarow and im deciding whether to put it up a lil. i just dont like the noise im getting on the front right, but im almost positive its that screw...

j1234

if u stiffen the ride it may help, but then ur just gonna get a crappier ride. mine kinda softened up after about a week, im at 8 all around. i know what u mean though with the noise, its annoying as all hell. and i had plenty of rubbing issues when i first put the coils on the car. just gotta find what u can deal with and how low you absolutely can go with how and where u drive, u prob have already figured all this out tho

joe645733

iTrader: (3)

nah not at all, i appreciate the help haha.

but im at 8's too, and its suprisingly really smooth and soft... i mean, theres a difference with lower amounts of body roll. but 8 is something i can absolutley deal with easily. and ive always been into sports cars, and i can go more harsh. im gonna give it a go tommarow. and thanks for the help again. next is an exhaust!
