I drove 300 or so miles to the event, did a evo advantage, raced 2 days, drove 300 miles back. So during that time it ate both of the top fender tabs on both sides. So 4 total.

Yeah, I think it was chapter 7 in this thread that covered all that stuff? You have to roll the fenders and sacrifice your fender liners for STR. No choice if you are going to lower down a significant amount. More camber will help, but still requires the roll.

I think we're in chapter 11 now, refinement.

Here are some related photos of tires/fender rubbing.

I just barely made it to chapter 7, I'm going to get a few 1/8" packers for those huge bumps, not really a fan of rolling fenders or cutting the fender liner little issues.

Where's a cheap place to get packers? I paid $5 each from Fat Cat Motorsports but didn't really shop around since I was in a time crunch:

I like the ones that PSI has but they don't gave them listed online.

RE has theirs online but they have a large gap between the split where the ones PSI has is only a slit. http://www.resuspension.com/Packers-...p-1-c-349.html

Fatcat is pricey

Why would you guys ever want to reduce your bump travel? Packers are a big time no-no and are really only useful for aero cars that need to keep the body work off the pavement in straight lines, not when the car is actually turning.

If you have issues with hitting the fender liners then use stiffer springs or more bar.

Its really easy to just to remove the push pins, bend the metal tabs up out of the way and tuck the fender liner behind them.
