Hey all,

I just lowered my car with eibach pro kits and kyb gr-2 shocks. everything is all good except for one part. In the back it seems like the control arms are really low and if i hit a substantial enough bump it causes a heck of rubbing. Is there any way to fix that or anything? Here is the picture :

Picture 1124 is my favorite but you can look around. My buddy has a e30 but we haven't gotten any good pics of it yet... thanks for the help guys.

 

that's a prokit drop? looks more like sportline... maybe cause the tires are just huge... but anyway... i never heard of anyone having trouble with the kyb/pro-kit drop... haha... ummm... i'm answerless... sorry

 

 

damn what series tires are those? and what size wheel? That looks more like a sportline drop... lol

 

they are only 16 inch wheels yokohama as 430 205/55/16

 

bump? anybody with some help?

 

are you from davis? I think ive seen your car around. Ive driven by you once or twice.

 

That does not look like a prokit drop, looks real freakin nice though, like the color as well, reminds me of CLPower's car. Maybe try getting slimmer tires

 

yea bro... i go to davis.. i drove by you a couple times and everytime i do i always tell my buddies dude that's the guy from the forum with the slammed cl...

 

haha, I see your car randomly. I like the color of your car its the first thing I noticed when I saw your car the first time by the ARC. I was like "oh shit, a gunmetal CL, I want that color." Did you paint it that color or did you buy it like that? Good to see that you finally slammed your car, we should do a photoshoot sometime since we're like the only two fixed up cl's in davis

as for the noise, Ive never had a problem with the control arm in the back. It looks low when you have the car jacked up but it tucks nicely when you drop it back down. I have mine pushed out even more because I added some washers and I'm still fine. You should check if everything is on correctly because you shouldnt have a problems with the rear rubbing, if anything the front control arm should be the issue.

 

Since you have a large series tire, you could be rubbing the control arm but......

I have the pro-kit w/18's and in the beginning the tires rubbed on the fender "lip" Run your fingers across the arch of the fender well and see if you get some rubber. It only happened to me when I took a serious turn or went sideways up over a hill. I could hear it as well.

If thats the problem, it will go away after you rub the tires down a little.

 

yea man we got it painted. It used to be black but i needed a change so decided to start doing stuff the car. Some subtle things though.. I want to do a couple more things to it but we'll see if i have time or the money to do it. Have a good spring break bro... good luck on your finals.
