Here is the situation. I have had 17" wheels on my 91 crx for 3 years. I have suspension techniques lower springs (probably 1.5" drop). No rubbing problems whatsoever. I had a blow-out and noticed extensive wear on the inner side of the wheel (down to the belts). So i got a camber kit installed with new tires. Well now the front drivers side tire rubs (top of tire on fender) during moderate bumps (really any bumps). I talked with the shop that installed the kit and they said "spring sag" mmm starting to get suspicious. Had a three finger gap on the passenger and 3/4 finger gap on the drivers. So I though OK spring sag. For fun I swaped the shocks / springs assemblies on the front. Voila the drivers side still rubs and not the passenger side. What can it be. The tires sit vertually the same in the wheel well (i.e. the same distance out - in line with the fender).

I don't believe it is because the camber has been corrected.

Measurement from Centre of hub to fender
Drivers before 12"
Passenger before 13"
Drivers after swap 12 1/4"
Passenger after swap 12 3/4

Any advice

 

Anyone?

 

Did you notice this difference before the camber kits? All the camber kits do is push the top of the wheel in more, it shouldn't effect your ride height. is the bottom of the car the same distance from the ground on each side?

 

what style camber correction kit?

 

It is a fully adjustable camber kit. No I didn't notice this problem before. I am probably go to slap some stock shock/spring assemblies on it and see what the ride height is. I am resigned now to replacing the springs I just need to find the right drop / spring rate to eliminate the rub.

or different tires but that might be too much.
