Was this only since youve had it lowered, as if the struts havnt been put together right then they might rub any pics??

I LOWERD IT 50 ON STANDERD SHOCKS AND IT WAS OK PUT THE SPORTS SHOCKS ON AND IT STARTED CATCHING.

what offset alloys are you running? you should be at ET49, the further away from that the more chance of rubing. If it used to be ok and now its rubbing then I suspect youve not set the camber angle corectly and that your not running enough negative camber. The adjustment is on the oversize holes in the shock absorbers where they bolt to the wheel hub.

just checked off set they are ok. did not think about camber will check it thanks.

snowman

Thanks for keeping us up to date snowman, glad we could help! I might have been right about the camber, but would never have guesed the strut was bent from new. You'll have to get some pics up and show us what a 50mm drop looks like :-D

Very Nice! What colour silver is it buddy? It looks darker than the star silver? Please could we have a picture of the back, its very similar to the girlfreinds car, same spoiler and Rear lights, only hers is lightning silver and she hasnt got the rear prodrive splitter like you and she'd like to see what it looks like. Thanks snowman.
