Hey guys, do any of you know of a good suspension tuner in Long Beach CA? I im not talking about the tire shops that do "alignments." I really need to find a good one.

 

To do what?

 

well heres the story.

I'm dropped on skunk2 coilovers and agx shocks. I have 16 inch rims with an offset of 43 and tire specs are 205/45/16. I've had the car alligned etc. I raised the car as well. It's not all slammed or anything. spring specs are are 350 all the way around. When I go up a driveway and if it's steeper that normal, my tires rub my fenders bad and it cuts the outter part of my tires. it's annoying. so im hoping that a good suspension tuner can find out what I need to adjust.

 

That's nothing that a "suspension tuner" is going to deal with.

Do you have an adjustable camber kit?

 

yeah I have a camber kit. i took it to get alligned and the tech said everything checks up just fine. do i need to get more - or + with it?

Either get rid of it, or set it more negative to allow the tires to clear the fenders under compression.

The former is preferable over the latter.

You will need to have the toe set again on an alignment rack after removing or adjusting the camber kits.

 

will applying more negative wear the tires faster? or is that a combination of bad toe and camber? Im thinking about getting eibach pro kit springs to raise the car even more. will that help?

Not by any significant amount.

Toe only - hence the reason you must have the car re-aligned, since toe changes any time camber is changed.

No. The problem isn't the ride height or the springs; the problem is that you have changed the camber curve by using an adjustable camber kit. With the stock upper control arms, 205/45-16 tires and +43 offset (I'm assuming 7" wheels), it should have enough clearance between the tires and the bodywork unless something is bent.
