Default CD Suspension issues

Hello,

I havent been on here in a while but I currently have a 96 4 door Sedan (accord).

I have a slight problem with the upper control arms. My suspension setup is as Follows:

Hayame FULL coilover setup
Skunk 2 Upper Arms
new urethane bushings front and rear

My problem is that I am having an issue with the Uca's hitting the upper wall of the wheel well. Not where the ball joint is but right in the MIDDLE of the arm. I can see two spot where it is hitting(red paint rubbing off.) The car is pretty low and would like to stay that way but the knocking is driving me crazy and I dont want to do any damage to the Arms.

Is there anybody who has run into this problem???

I hope thats clear if not I will post up a pic of what is hitting.

This is where it's hitting.. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Tony

Would taller bump stops make a difference?

No, bump stop won't make a difference.

It shouldnt' hit using the Skunk2 EF UCA. I'd talk to the Hondasociety[dot]com guy cause there's quite a few good guys over there that are running them with no issue and they are pretty damn low with low offset wheels.

I figured that would be the end result. Dont think i want to resort to that.

Thanks for the input though.
