[kris_t]

ok fitted coilovers

set to the lowest setting

im getting rubbing on drivers side when turning sharpe left at speed aseems to rub on arch gaurd

so i asumed it was due to driver weight

so raised it up abit still rubs

very strange that its only rubbing on 1 side and only on left turn

? solutions please ???????

What wheels do you have on ? The ones in the pic ?

[aido]

Find an open carpark and drive around in a circle for 20 minutes so it'll wear whatever it's rubbing away

Is it just the tyre catching?

I was reading about an IS or GS, can't remember which in the USA which was totally slammed and they actually had to cut holes in the chassis where the top of the suspension was hitting it :o

Have you got the standard alloys on or aftermarket?

[kris_t]

got standard lexus 18s at min yes just tyre only catches on cornering left sharpe wen it its a bump eveything else is fine

Probably catching on the arch liner matey as a guess, if you have a look inside the wheel arch you should be able to see where? if it is the liner you can heat it with a hot air gun and bend it away or push it back? Someone else on here had to do it but cant remember who it was at the moment?

Edit: just thought mate, if you've not had the geo done yet the camber angle will be out by quite a bit so might explain why its catching? ie: the top of the wheels are leaning inwards too far?

think it is arch liner

might remove it but dont want to

ill have to try n find a mate with a heat gun

just strange how it just 1 side

[sparkystav]

Mines the opposite, rubs on the passenger side when you turn right.

hacked away most of the arch liner, still there lol

[kris_t]

its strange how low did you go stav?

i will sort it 1 way or another lol

[sparkystav]

Not very low to be honest mate, its the spacers that cause my rubbing, 15mm on the front to get round the supra calipers.

i c well i going to attack it with a heat gun then see wot else i can do
