Have you gotten an alignment since the coilovers?

That's the best way to adjust camber so it can be even on both sides..

There is a bolt where the bumper meets the car inside the wheel well. This needs to be relocated. In other words, remove it and drill a hole elsewhere. I haven't had to do this myself but I know for a fact there are threads on it.

PM'd you about how to adjust rear camber, but if you put coilovers on and haven't had an alignment yet, this will just help your rear rubbing issue. You will still need a full alignment as I'm sure everything's all sorts of out of whack.

All you need is to align it properly. That's it. I run 18x9.5" NT03's with a 265/35/18 tire and no rubbing.


As Deloungedoug said, there is a camber adjustment bolt in the back (this is not the bolt on top). Look up where this bolt is (It's the third bolt closest to the center of the car on the rear lower control arm, you'll see tick marks on it). If you run a little more negative rear camber, you'll be all set.

Don't go buying new tires.. lol

Even though it's out there and you should be searching, here's what you need to adjust rear camber:



It is the bolt that is labeled #2 on the left, the inner-most bolt on the car. First loosen the nut and then you can turn the bolt with the big flat piece on it that has a hole drilled and tick marks like a ruler. This will move the arm in and out causing the bottom of the tire to move in and out, giving you negative camber.

Im running the same wheels, same tire size, but on Tein S-Tech springs.. I rolled my rears a little. My car isnt extremely low though - I dont rub or scrape at all.

Relocate the rear bumper mount at least and inch back shave everything in front of it flush. I fit 18x9.5 +12s doing this -3 degrees camber up front -2 rear.

This thread is so full of fail that it's just amazing.

To the original poster: you installed coilovers - go get an alignment. After that, check for scraping

If Scrapping = 1 go to EvoM; write(post) about ($scraping)
