ok, i brought a set of 2nd hand prosport coilovers today, i put them in myself as i have done i few before. i was driving home from my workshop and as i got home i noticed alot of rubber in the rear guards and and the car smelt of rubber. i looked under the car and noticed the inside of the rear tyres were rubbing on the bottom of the spring and on the two lock nuts where you adjust the height. i just rang the guy i bought them off and he said they where of a wagon.. so is that my problem, are wagons suspension different to sedans?
there is a bit of camber but not much. i hope someone can help as i am totally stumped.

cheers

are you running 18's ?

na tuna im running standard my00 wheels with 205/50/16. do wagons have a different suspension setup to sedans, cause thats all i can think of.

nup, same-same

you might want to check the condition of the mountings on the strut, if the struts have been previously involved in an accident, they could have an excessive amount of camber on them...

it was in an accident, but only at the front and drivers door, i saw pictures and it wasnt bad enough to stuff up the rear. and the rear was cut and put on another car so it must of been ok... me starting to get angry

i checked them and they look fine, no stress fractures or anything. they have only done 15,000 k's as well

I'd say its simply just too much camber.

I had that problem with my DMS struts and i ended up having to use pillowball strut tops just to get enough clearance on the rear end.

hmmmm there is a bit of camber, might just take the car to a suspension shop and get them to sort it out, and do an alignment. would camber bolts help. sorry for the questions

yeah camber bolts will sort it..

but if you wind up the spring base that will resolve the issue for now, tis the downside to dumping them too low
