Hi everyone maybe someone can recommend a possible fix for my issue...

Rear setup:

17X8.5 Ce28 factory offset wrapped with 17/40/255 Dunlop Star Specs

The backstory:

Initially I ran the Tien S-Techs lowering springs (1 inch drop all around) and begun to rub in the rear. I thought initially that maybe the springs rates just were just not stiff enough but wasn't too worried about it since I had plans on upgrading to coilovers anyhow.

- Left Rear: -2.66 / Right Rear: -2.66

The Upgrade:

- HKS Hypermax III
- Dropped 2 inches all around
- Corner balanced and aligned by Evasive Motorsports
- Left Rear: - 3.00 / Right Rear:-3.03

I recently did a track day at Willow Springs (Big Willow) and still rubbed at full stiff particularly entering turn 3 (and no where else on the track). I am not entirely sure at this point what I can do to remedy this. Should I start to think about rolling the fenders? Or perhaps running more camber and increasing the ride height a little on the rear?

Thanks everyone!





P.S. I am also rubbing when going over dips on the freeway (at half stiff)

 

probably not factory offsets.....

 

Regardless of anything, you'll need to go to evasive again and do a fender roll and tab relocate. Not sure why evasive didn't let you know you're gonna rub.

 

Come to think of it Kel did sort of mention that (but didn't really push for it)

 

Nice to see the car in action.

What association was holding the event?

 

Just take off your wheel and check the offset. It will be easier to figure what extend of rolling/flaring u'll need that way.

 

This was with speed ventures at Big Willow

 

Oh ok. Nice. I was asking because I want to get into an actual track but it would be months to up classes without ride alongs.

 

It was my first time... I signed up for a two session-instructor deal and it was greatly helpful! The last session of the day was a solo run. It was fun!

They said this experience moves me out of 'beginner' unto 'slow intermediate' which means I can run in most events. Id just be grouped with similarly experienced drivers (or lack thereof)....

 

Gotcha. That's cool that they let you run solo. The associations here in Florida require an instructor ride along for the first two groups which you would have to be in for about 6 months.
