Default rubbin the fenders

New to the forum and need some help. I have a 92 SI, rolling on Skunk2 coilovers and kyb struts. What is an acceptable height and how do I stop the front wheels from rubbin the fenders.

Trial and error I havet to say....you'll just have to adjust and drive...depending on your rims, you should be able to get a nice slam on

to stop the rubbing, raise it up. acceptable height is one finger gap between the tire and fender.

Had the same problem last weekend when I installed my AGX's and Tein S-Techs but gave it a nice drop and handles nice with not having swaybars yet(it's a dx). Took a hammer to the fender and had to give it a couple of knocks on the inside.

Rolling on carbon spec-vs and kuhmos, this rubbing only happens when I go around corners. Sits nice but hates tight turns , will try that finger thing though.

Thanks

I've got a 1993 Si with KYBAGX's and Tein S-Techs and it doesn't rub even a little at full wheel lock...I'm also running the stock 14 inch steelies though.

roll out your fenders with a baseball bat or pipe.
