Fortune 500 coilover problems
Fortune 500 coilover problems
Hey guys ive got the fortune 500 coilovers on my evo 8 with Rota DPT's 18x9.5
the problem im having is that my tired are so freakin wide they actually rub over big bumps, ext.
i bought my evo with them on and they were way to low, especially on the driver side front wheel well. i couldnt even fit my fingers inbetween my tire and body so i get them raised by Akuma Motorsports and it was great for a while they were still and barely rubbed but now its been about a month and my coils have definitely lowered in ride height substantially.... back to how it was when i got the car
anyone having the same problem?

First do what PRS said and check to see if your collars have come loose. You'll have to have the height readjusted. Make sure those collars are super tight, checking and retightening a few days after the height readjustment. Use a flat head screwdriver and hammer the collars to tighten or use your might and tighten with the wrenches supplied.
Btw, what is the offset on your dpt's? I have the same wheels with +35 offset and 255/35's without issues, and I'm on FA 500's as well. If you have the more flush +22 offset, you might want to look into having camber setup adjusted and/or fenders rolled (probably only rear).
