just put my car back on stock springs rather than ebay coilovers.... now i cant drive it cause the inside of the tire rubs on something and make a bad smell and gets that part of teh tire hot as shit. could i have put the mount in wrong? this sucks im driving my friends 86 camry now, ill look into it more tomorrow
ya i agree its just the driver rear tire :S, ill see what its rubbing on heh btw my car looks like a skyscraper on stock springs ;p
LOL hey youds dotn forget that the car wasnt designed for those rims and they might be wider than stock, and at lowered hieght they clear everything but whenever the strut gets extended there could be minor rubbing.. and since the cars now higher, constant rubbing. just a thought
Youds, its called an ALIGNMENT. Usually done by a professional shop. As all of us have said before. When you alter your suspension, you need to go get one. Honestly man, how hard is it to do this? We wouldn't tell you this if we didn't know this as a fact of life.
ya im gonna go get an allignment, then switch my strut mounts then get another one, i do not have money if that makes it easier to understand ;p doesnt make sence for the rears though how would the allignment get that bad ;x i know the front is screwed but didnt think the back would fuck up that much
If it was a solid rear then it wouldn't make a difference. The majority of the cars produced from the 1980's thru today have independet suspension all the way around. Helps with alot of things. So just about everything on every corner of the car is adjustable. Hence why when you do get alignments its a all wheel alignment vs a front end alignment like trucks and most older cars get. Unfortunately, if you don't have the money for alignments you may want to wait and only mess with your suspension all at once vs doing a little here and a little there and not doing alignments afterwards because in the long run, all you are doing is purchasing more tires.
then probably made into a track car if i get a good job well im going to take teh tire off and see why its rubbing, i really dont think the allignment would have put it off this far, i never put these wheels on when i wasnt lowered so the sidewall woulda been 2 inches higher up in the wheel well and probably never travelled those 2 inches and if it did only momentarily but we'll see my "winter tires" are on the stock GT-S wheels with 185s on them haha i know its bad but they were in awesome shape when i wrote off my k car so i transfered them to the gt--s wheels hehe
