i just lowered my car a ton and it sounds like the tires are hitting something under the front fender when the suspension compresses a good amount...its all plastic stuff under the fender, so am i in danger of hurting something?...doesn't seem like its hurting the tires, but it just sounds kinda loud...anyone else experience this?...i think it might be the plastic fender liner, but i'm not sure...here's how low i am:

 

DJ...I was hitting the screws on the inside of the outer lip up top. I just removed those on the top, tucked the liner into the lip and then folded the lip back some and I'm good to go now. That may be where you're hitting. W/out really hearing it I really have no clue though.

 

raised the front a quarter inch and i'm all good...only the huge bumps actually cause the car to bottom out now

 

wow...your ride looks good. You should probably raise the back a little though. The front looks slightly higher than the back. What are the specs on the wheels please? offset?

 

dj it looks great!

 

+1

 

Yeah. The car definitely looks raised at the front. Maybe raise the rear a bit to balance it out. Other than that, i think it looks sweet.

 

god, its bottoming out again now in the front!...it was fine right after i raised it, then got worse and worse...i'll raise it another quarter inch and see what happens...fck

btw, the wheels are 20x9.5 +10 and 20x10.5 +23

 

what suspension set up are you running?

 

I was having the same issue. I am lowered on GF210 springs. While I was getting 2 tires on at Forged the other day I took off the front part of the inner fender liner, and now no more bump noises.

 

This may sound like an obviuse thought. try looking around and see what is being hit!

 

I'm having the same problem on 03 Rays. Tried looking but haven't had a chance to really checkout what is causing the noise. I think mine only makes noise from the front driver side.

 

Maybe you guys are just too fat. j/k

 

lol

 

had the same problem with my setup before.. took it to the track and heard super loud rubbing sounds. got home and realized the tires were going INTO the frame (already rubbed through fender liner) and the frame was actually slicing into the tires.

 

Your car is so clean man, what suspension setup are you running? And what wheels are those?
