prokit rubbing issues
Hey guys, I have had my 3.0 dropped with a prokit for a little over 2 years and i just had to replace my tires because the camber was off so the inside of the tires were completely bald. the car was also shaking really bad especially at highway speeds i guess due to the bad camber and thus bad tire wear. anyway, i took my car to a performace car shop where they fixed the camber with hydraulics. he said it just stretched out the control arms and he could adjust camber up to 5 degrees and that way i would not have to buy a camber kit and i could keep the stock parts. so i had that done and got new tires put on (225/40/18 michelin pilot sport a/s- same size as before) and now it rides really smooth and quiet. however, i cannot drive anywhere now without some sort of noise, either rubbing when i go over a bump or there is some squeeling noise at the back right when i am turning to the left when i am moving. also, if i turn in a parking spot too fast, i rub. i have never ever rubbed or squeeled before i had the work done and now i was wondering what to do. i called the mechanic that did the work and he wanted me to bring it by to see where it is rubbing, but said that his work had nothing to do with the ride height, but why all of a sudden is it doing this? I am really frustrated with the car because i feel i have wasted more money on the suspension/wheels than the car is even worth. i am to the point where i just want to raise it back up to stock height because i can never have anybody else in the back seat or the tires with rub. opinions? i have kyb gr2 shocks that were put on when i lowered it.

well if you fixxed the camber and it started to rub that my be the reason. depending on how low you are you need some negative camber to have your wheels fit inside your wheel well. you could try rolling your fenders to add some clearence for your tires
