ok here is the situation i have a 99 GS ridding on Ground Control Coilovers with stock shocks. the car is lowered so theres about a finger gap between the wheel well and tire(wheels are stock). As of now every once in a while the a-arm will hit the top of the shock tower. But i want to lower it a little more. Is there anything i can do or buy so when i lower it the a-arm wont hit like all the time because of it being closer to the top of the shock tower? Thanks

 

That's odd, I have almost no gap on my front tires (205/50-15 on stock wheels) and my A-arms never hit the shock tower, even w/ the soft@$$ H&R Sport springs. Do you have dents in your shock tower? I don't.

The distance of the A-arm from the top of the shock tower is directly related to ride height. You can't change the distance and stay the same ride height, unless you shortened the spindle or something, which really isn't feasable because you would start running into tire clearance issues (the spindle is curved inward for a reason ya know).

 

yea its leaving dents in the shock tower my friend has an EJ1 with skunk 2s and tokicos and it does the samething. BTW i have an ingalls camber kit.

That's probably why. Take off the camber kit and I'm sure it will be fine. You won't need it anyway w/ a good alignment and frequent tire rotation.

 

alot of ppl cut the square off of the top of the tower to let the arm have clearance.

and keep the camber kit, it'll come in handy. quick adjustment is always a plus
