No, not sure why that is happening... my height did not change at all... the suspension was loaded like the instructions mentioned however...

had to raise it a quarter of an inch today... arm hits under the fender at really big bumps... doesnt happen often, but sometimes its unavoidable... like yesterday in the freeway, big pothole, unavoidable... guess i accepted that i was too low... have almost no suspension travel...

 

I have an appointment at Temple City auto repair to have alignment!!!
Since I cut down the rear spring perch 1/2"!!!!

Ill be there at 9 AM, you should stop and talk to Henry, see what he thinks.

 

what day are u showing at 9 am??? not sure u mentioned the day...

haha... actually u meant the same day as i was gonna get mine looked at (yesterday, right?)....

 

im actually going to west end alignment instead of evasive motorsports... appointment is not until next weds however... my car will be the last one for that day and for the week i should add... going to get alignment redone, get corner balanced done, and spc are looked at...

 

here are those pictures i took yesterday with my phone... i dont think i have many options... only thing to do is to raise it up to avoid further hitting... not sure how we can go past this...

anyway.. here they are...

as u can see, the cylidrical piece with the the spc logo would hit before the recess... it was moved slightly and now im hitting inside the actual recess i believe... (look at previous pics from earlier pages to understand the term "recess")... i guess im just to low???? caster setting is at 0 (zero) too...

 

CASTER AT 0????
Its should be close to 5.

 

OK at -0.6 camber, my ball joint does not stick out past the arm frame.

it's just inside.

What year is your car, has it ever been in an accident??

 

do you have any photos of how low you actually had the car? I'm at about 25.5" and 26" all around and have zero issues.


Are your camber arms from SPC the OLD ONES or the ones that were revised? This WAS a common accurance like 2 years ago, but SPC revised their arms(not sure if this was mentioned int he past 5 pages).

Your camber settings really shouldn't affect if the arm hits or not. The ball can slide to adjust, but even on the complete outter setting, it should not be an issue. Keep in mind, to be within spec just try and keep your camber settings below -2 to 0...and keep your toe in check.

From the photos, the the TOP of the caster....where did you purchase the arms from?

 

ok, got you... is the spc logo visible from the outside on yours?? what setting is ur caster plate in???

its a 2008 sports coupe... no, never in an accident...

 

yes it is at 5... i am speaking of the caster plate setting....

 

there are a few pics from a pg or two ago... u can check by clicking the links... im at 26" all around...

they are the new ones... the revised parts... even verified this with eibach... bought through them...

im at -1 on my front cambers... was in specs until monday, raised a quarter inch... gonna have realignment done again next weds at west end alignment...

 

lemme guess...you have a G37x???

 

n'm...just searched and saw you have a sport in another thread.

man, I have no answers for you then. Only thing I can think of is you're going over some SERIOUS pot holes to be able to give the suspension travel up that much?

 

no... 2008 G37S...

why am i having this issue???!!

 

yeah, i guess that is it... now that im about 26.25"... im not hitting unless they are big potholes... or big bumps at high speeds... otherwise, im not hitting...
