need suggestions/alternatives after RCA for clearance
so i got a mk2 aristo 98'
front pads and rotors needed replacing so i went along with the cheap BBK swap.
LS400 calipers 4pot, installed 30mm Megan RCA's and 20mm spacers for clearance for my rims that are 19 inch rims and have hks hypermax RS coilovers installed
i had the coilovers pretty much bottomed out before my swap, and now that i did the swap, my fender is sitting on my tire/wheel lol.
Planning to roll my fenders flush, also to dial the coilovers higher so i have clearance.
Have surface rust/grime all over my threads so im deciding on using wire brush? with move it? heard about using coca cola as it has phosphoric acid and will eat the rust away hopefully? Rather not use all that time taking the coilovers out though.
1. originally was going to pull my fenders out, but realized it looked really bad due to the line across the fenders as well
2. thinking about buying aftermarket adjustable UCA's to clear some room, but iffy on that as im still in school
3. ??? Trying to find alternatives
Friend helped me adjust the coilovers a bit higher, yet it still sinks back down and sits at the same height...
Could be due to RCA and it giving slight camber etc?
If you read everything up to this, I'll be surprised. Maybe someone has the same similar problem? solutions? Buddy says to drive it stock, but whats the fun in that right?
