I dropped my car with DropZone Coilovers & Struts on Friday. I went racing on saturday and like every bump it would rub on my fenders but I was happy with the heigh difference from OEM -> Aftermarket. Now today (monday) the car looks like its back to OEM height, but it still rubs on the fenders when I go over a bump or manhole. It only rubs in the front, but I have the same drop on both the Rear & Front.

My Question:
1) How Can I stop the rubbing on the fenders without raising the car anymore?
2) How Can I lower the car more, but keep it from rubbing the fenders?

-what car do you have?
-how low have you dropped it from OEM?
-do you have aftermarket rims? if so, what size/offset?

 

- 1998 Honda Civic EX 2DR
- 2" all around
- Yes, 15"

 

can you see marks inside the wheel well which would indicate rubbing? if not, do you have splash guards?

 

theres no marking of it hitting, but when u go over the bumps you hear it "sweak"

and no, the bodyshpp took out the fender liner and never gave it back or put it back in.

 

whatever, im just gonna deal with it.. im sure it wont cause any problems. i only hear it over bumps when i go over 45mph+, ill just take it slow..

I REALLY NEED TO GET MY WHEELS ALIGNED, but no one will do it cuz its lowerd

if your suspension is too low to get it on a lift, bring some 2x4's with, and ask the shop to drive the car up on them to give more clearance for the lift arms (don't know if they'll do it, but it's worth a try). honestly, though, it might look pretty, but raise your car up a bit. "just dealing" with your suspension rubbing so you can drive around with your m4d3 t1t3 sl4mM3d R1d3 y0! is ghey.

 

well... my car being to low came back on me last night

my altnator died and i had to get 3 different tow trucks come b4 i found one that i could get my car onto.
