Eibach + MRR GT1 19's + Ichiba 10mm = Rubbing!
Well, I have decided to remove the Ichiba 10mm spacers. Apart from the vibration issues, I am getting serious rubbing especially under load.
I have finally submitted to the fact getting a "fat" look on the GS is not possible without compromise! And I am not about to have my brand new Yokohamas shreaded into pieces! You may look at my car and immediately notice hardly any drop at all, and realtively modest offset with modest 19 inch 9.5 width wheels, but the rubbing is there and it sounds as if my tyres are gonna rip any minute! Front: Rubbing towards the front wheel well.. I have heard of people rolling them, I would have probably done that had it not been for the vibrations.. which means these spacers must go! Rear: Rubbing towards the rear wheel well, these I heard can be shaved off but I'm not prepared to go down that route! Some pics for your reference guys! http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...--Baqer/L2.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...--Baqer/L1.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...--Baqer/L3.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...--Baqer/L4.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...--Baqer/L6.jpg Rear rubbing points http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...--Baqer/L7.jpg Front rubbing points http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...--Baqer/L5.jpg |
All of that has been removed on my car

easy fix:)
take off those black strips, they are held in by a few screws. Then lower your car on coils to get more negative camber and it will work out just fine. You may need to trim the rear just a bit but nothing major:) |

if you let it rub awhile there will be nothing left to rub.....TRUE STORY

just letting you know this can work if you want it to. I'm a fan of "fat" tires myself and not stretching. if I was able to push a 295/25 in the rear I know you can make this set up work with probably just a drop. May not even need to mess with the rear fender depending on how much lower you go.
