A while ago i cut my springs and was slammed but then recently upon getting an alignment supposedly my rack and pinion was rubbing against my frame? is there a way to fix that?

 

theres your problem right there.

 

So if i lowered it on coilovers it wouldn't rub?

 

get full coils. call it a day

 

never cut springs. cheap is never the way to go for your car.

I would suggest full coils, but lowering springs will get you that low ride if you're worried about spending too much cash

 

Proper lowering springs have higher tension rates than stock springs. If you just cut your stock springs, you're running lower tension on a lower car. The result is a bouncy ride, lots of bottoming out, and rubbing where you shouldn't be...especially if you slam it.

If you use lowering springs (coilovers or progressive), the tension is high enough to keep this from happening, resulting in a smoother, safer ride.

That said, if you slam the car too much (even on proper springs), you're probably going to rub something, so keep that in mind. Camber adjustments are a must...you may also have to roll your fenders depending on the offset of your wheels.

i was at a 6.7 ish drop on cut s-techs how low do you think you could go on some coilovers safely? also i already have a camber kit.

 

Make sure to get lowering springs and aftermarket shocks.

Your stock shocks can't handle lowering springs so they will blow out sooner or later.

Then go get a 4 wheel alignment right away.

Camber kit is a waste of money.

 

6.7" drop? are you the guy from the Eibach meet that scraped the front gate? lol

 

6.7 my gosh, lol

 

Nope as you can see i'm from CA.

 

proper suspension PIC's, GC/koni, with stiffer springrates since u like slammed and just like what ALL motot eg said not camber kits since that reduces suspension travel

 

gain some weight..

 

so that would solve my rubbing issue?

 

oooooooooooooooh! no! not cutting! I have seen what happens when that goes wrong! you can pick up some shocks and lowering springs cheap second hand if you are really skint. or coliovers FTW!

 

The Eibach meet i'm talking about was in California lol

 

still wasn't me. lol

 

+1 on the PIC's. Just installed some and they blow away all the other coilovers I've had. Cheaper then alot of others also. If you contact the vendor through the classifieds he does a GREAT deal on them. Plus the shock threads down into the mount so you can slam your car without losing any shock travel. teh secks!

 

6.7? and you havent blown your shocks yet? doesnt your shocks hit the strut tower? you must of busted all your strut towers already huh? lol...youre too cool bro...too cool. lol

 

how much do these run for?

 

i want proof.

OP function and form will get you pretty damn low and still ride good.
being slamed your gonna eat tires, cvs and other things.

 

 

still 6.7 inches seems a bit much.

 

1.7 from stechs cut off 5

 

the ghetto cheap way to do things!!!
