Default HELP!! HAVING SUSPENSION PROBLEM!!

ok so i just put in my new suspension which is tokiko hp blues shock and H and R springs......the ride is fine and smooth but the problem is that in the rear left tire seems fine and is not cambered but on the right side in the rear it is cambered a little and seems to be dropped more. also, when i take a u-turn it seems to rub and when i hit a big bump the front sounds like the tires srape on the inside. but when im riding nirmal nothing scrapes!!! and the weird part is in the rear the camber kit is adjusted the same on both sides!! anyone know what to do?? thanks!

hmm well it sounds like the camber is off on one side but you said that the height is different also? that is strange. are you positive you put the front springs in the front and the rear in the rear? i dont mean to be like DUH but sometimes if your in a hurry its easy to get them mixed up because for the most part they look identical aside the fact the front coils are made from thicker wire than the rear.

Did you have the car aligned professionally. The car could have had a camber problem before you installed the suspesion and setting the camber kit to match may not be enough to fix the problem. maybe the off-set on the wheels and tire size could have something to do with it, what kind of wheels and tires are you running??
