Eibach springs/rubbing while road racing
 

I'm having a hell of a time since the Eibachs were installed with rubbing. Never had this with the stock setup. The Eibachs lower the car 1", and now when I hit turns hard I am getting rubbing on both sides, but mostly on the left. They are installed correctly, and the rubbing is occurring on the fronts only. It it rubbing right in the top of the wheel well.

Do you guys know of any solutions for me? I run at Sebring and just got back from Road Atlanta this past weekend.

Thanks.

David

This happens to me on the track w/ the eibach prokits... particularly on hard, med. to low speed corners where the car really digs in... and if i hit a realy big highway undulation. there just isn't enough spring rate there.

If you have Koni shocks, raise the ride height. You can also reduce the chance of rubbing by getting a stiffer anti-sway bar. Tire sizes, etc., also play a role.

I see cars lower than mine with stock-style springs. I've been running 550 or 450 lbs/in front springs for a while, and I have had to raise a corner here and there to keep from rubbing. I don't know how the owners of the slammed cars get away with it. I want to be able to drive hard without worrying about rubbing. I recently caught a fender lip a few times and chipped the paint bending it back. I was so pissed. Tire rubbing sucks! Okay, sorry for the rant. :)
