Gary p 46 Report post Posted July 25, 2017 Just had the tein coilovers fitted and what a difference it's made to the car 👌👌 would reccomend these to anyone that's wishing to change there set up. Only problem I have is having 9.5 j rims and catch inner arch on full lock due to camber but can be sorted with 2mm spaces or adjusted camber. Heres a picture of how it sits 2 HariboPenguin and Lauren reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely worth it, after an alignment the car feels a lot nicer to drive and there's always the looks as well 1 Gary p reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It only rubs when the steering is locked out to its maximum point. The camber may need taking out a little to compensate so the tyre doesn't scrub 😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Special K 442 Report post Posted July 26, 2017 Gary - do you have adjustable camber? Or are you on stock? I don't think spacers will cure your issue, especially when cornering hard. Look to set 2.0 - 2.5degrees negative on fronts, half a degree less on rears. Only my view. Spec K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spec K Yeah that's about what I have up front will have a look at the print off of the camber settings when it went for the 4 wheel alignment it maybe the case of too much camber. Will check shortly👍👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Front camber -2.5° and rear -2.0 Have a feeling the ET maybe 38 on the rota grids Iam due for a tyre change so didn't know whether to go for 245/35/18 to see if that made any difference before altering camber? Not sure if it will or not!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevinA 695 Report post Posted July 28, 2017 Dropping to a 35 profile will help, I would have too but my tyres are not available in that profile. 1 Gary p reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tareim 343 Report post Posted August 22, 2017 are you still on the stock drop links? if so are you sure its the tyres/wheels rubbing on full lock? when I had teins fitted with stock drop links and a fair amount of camber the standard drop links would catch the inner arch/engine bay on full lock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I may try 245/35 as it's the tyre that catches inner arch. Does the 235/40 look stretched on that width of alloy?
