DC,
I know exactly what you're talking about! My cars front right tire used to rub against that 'joint' really hard when I was going up a drive way at a fast speed (going up-right), and shaved some rubber off the tire each time. It also didnt sound too good when that was happening. I was thinking about shaving around where that bolt goes into, and making it a bit smaller. what are your secrets around working out that problem?

Derek, I went to A-one and talked to wynne on thursday and he said I would have to pull the fenders out. The tires don't rub when I make a turn in normal speed, it rubs when the wheels are turn to an angle and hit a bump. I'm going to change the spring pads when I have time and roll the fenders in the front, if that doesn't solve the problem I would have to ask wynne to pull the fenders out. BTW hows your car ? Any news on the RS kit and HREs? See you around.

Yeah the chrome part is now black, and the center part was black now it's silver BTW, I think my car is lower than the cup kit, it's actually a lot lower than in the pictures, I rub every turn I make and scrape a lot. I'm going to change the spring pads and probly shave the inner part of my fender.
