you have a camber kit?
you were obviously ruining to low of spring rates, and i see this happening alot with the use of a skunk2 type camber kit.
its not a big deal, many race cars cut out that area, so that that doesn't happen and also for easy access for adjustments

yeah this happened with a skunk2 camber kit, shitty cheap brand coilovers on tokico illuminas. i've recently put the shocks on it's stiffest setting to try to counter-act this.

lol where do you see a spoon sports strut bar. that would be a skunk2 strut bar in the picture. plus i got the strut bar as a christmas gift a couple of years back.
*note to self* order coilovers with stiffer spring rates next time

I dont get it. What causes the rip?? I have tokico illuminas on my car with cheap Drozone springs (<<Stiff as HELL) and the illuminas are set to 4/5 all 4 corners to counter the springs.

The upper A-arm hitting the shock tower causes it to rip over time. Mine was beginning to do the same thing and when I noticed the little dent coming up on my shock towers.. I decided it was time for a change. So I got some Omnipower Full Coilovers (10k/6k) and raised the car so that there was one finger space between wheel and fender.
If you're A-arms are hitting the shock towers, I bet the car handles like ****.

Re: (XxSOHCDriVerxX)
I have the same problem on my sol. I am running DropZone shocks/springs (450 fr and 350 rr). I am lowered so that there the fender is even with the tire and I have the OMNI power camber kit *basically skunk2*. I figure I'll just let it do what its gotta do, then if I sell it, I'll just hammer it down and paint it.
