When I jack up the car and remove the rear wheels, I've noticed that the rear stabilizer control link is touching the coilover body. Is this because the car is jacked up ...? I've tried to get underneath the car to have a look (without jacking it up) but can't see it..
is this a problem? how much clearance should there be?

thanks

 

which gen Rx-7?

 

3rd gen

 

ummm im confused i dont see how thats possible. take some pictures

 

What coilovers do you have? I know it gets close with most setups that have the adjustable lower perch, what typically touches is the rubber boot when raise and there is just a hairline off when on the ground.

 

the brand is BC Racing..yes, I know they're cheap. I've attached a pic (crappy). It is the rubber boot slightly touching the body of the coilover. Only driven it a few miles since putting them on and haven't noticed any strange sounds. Haven't been to an alignment shop yet....we got 5 inches of snow Thursday, they threw salt all over the roads so won't drive this car again till they're "salt free"...

 

You will be good, if you have that much room there now it will increase once the car is on the ground. I actually looked at mine earlier and I got a good 1/4" of clearance.

 

yeah that should be fine, I crawled under my car yesterday and ive got just about that much clearance too. (stock sways with tein HT coilovers)

 

Yea, that is fine as others have said. I have the same issue with my Zeals and a RB bar. I can't even use the outer hole on the RB bar.
