Odd fenderwell gap
Odd fenderwell gap
I was wondering if this was a normal gap since it didn't look anything like what my two coupes did. I am running a 15 inch rim with a 205 60 tire which I presume is stock. Also the struts and springs are stock too. Should there be this much of a gap between the tire and well. And if not how do I correct it. The picture is again posted in my albums as my phone won't allow me to post a pic on the thread.
Our cars are very prone to spring sag. Over the last 20+ years they've self-lowered. Usually they have a "gangsta lean" towards the drivers side. You probably have one that hasn't sunk yet. With good springs of stock height expect a good 3-4 inch wheel gap. I remember lowering a 87 TII once to end up actually raising it 1/4" at the bottom of the fender due to sag. I was disappointed thinking my intrax 2" drop was gonna tuck my wheels.
Thanks for the help. And yes the springs are ridiculously tight on front and back... I can feel every crack and pebble in the road as though I was off roading. Which is good to know it still has life in it until I can actually afford coilovers. Well thanks a bunch yet again..... I love these cars to damned much....lol.
