so my driver side front is rubbing the fender pretty bad. my suspension setup is neuspeed race springs with koni yellows and the wheels are ls mesh w/ 205/50/15 kumho asx. alll on a 99 hatch. anyone else with a similar setup have this problem? any reason y it only rubs on the driverside? would you suggest having the fenders rolled or getting new springs that aren't as low? perhaps the driver front spring or shock is dead? when i set the konis on stiff it doesnt rub as bad but ive got them on soft now to make the ride a little smoother.

 

reason it's only rubbing on the driver's side is b/c there's more weight on ur side since u're sittin on it. i would suggest gettin a new setup such as coilovers or if the budget doesn't allow that, roll ur fenders

 

yea but even when im not in the car it seems to sit a bit lower...but i think some gc's might be in the mail soon

 

gc's chea

Um, the engine is on the driver's side of the car. Its the heavier side. Its also lower stock, but you can't tell with the stock 4x4 fender gap.

If you have a camber kit set to reduce front camber, then you're pushing the top of the tire further out, which would certianly contribute to rubbing. Add some camber to reduce or eliminate the rubbing.

If you don't have a camber kit, I'd recommend getting wheels with a higher offset, it sounds like the wheel is sitting too far out.

You can also raise the car up to the point where it won't rub.

 

Does it rub on the inside or the outside area of the wheel well?

ive got an omni front camber kit, ls mesh wheels (not sure the offset), 205/50/15 kumho asx.i like the way it sits just wish it didnt rub may just have to raise it a bit w/ some coilovers.

camber becomes negative not positive when a car is lowered

This is one of those points of confusion and always will be.

But what tunern00b means is to add (negative) camber. Generally when you "increase camber" you're making it more negative.

I know, i know, mathmaticians probably hate it.

 

It isnt too hard to roll the fenders, I would try doing that before buying another pair of springs.
