is there a downside of grinding that peace that was wearing off the tire?

this is the wear of the tire




this is what it was scraping on.


and i took it all off


is there a downside to that? why was that there? it looked like 2 peaces of metal jointed together

 

how low are you?

 

let me take a pic brb

 

why didnt you just remove the whole thing?

 

No downside, will help your tires live longer.

 

i did.. it was a sheet of metal about 3/4 hanging.. so i grinded it down with the grinder . its not the peace of plastic scraping the tire

 

damn im lower then you and the only tire wear i have is from negative camber i really dont see why thats happening. do you have bad shocks, is it doing this while rolling or during turns?

 

i bought it like that.. and it only does that in dips and bumps

would have been a lot smarter and easier to just tuck your camber in a bit.

 

id touch it up w/ some rustoelum to prevent future rusting.

 

let me guess, ebay springs with oem (blown) shocks?

 

I'd say his springs are sagging. I have my car on KYB AGX/ GC coilovers. I have 2 finger gap front, started grinding like his after a few months. The front springs started sagging for some retarded reason and that caused scraping on hard turns/ dips/ etc. Check your springs, probably sagging and need to be replaced. (I know I have to... Teins here I come)

Edit: To verify sagging, look at your springs and see if the blue rubber cover on it is worn off at the top and bottom sides of the coils. If the tops and bottoms are worn out/ look like they've been rubbing that's a good hint of sagging.
