I just put on my 18" volk le37, and only the driver side is rubbing when i make turns. my car is lowered on tein stech. the front driver side is lower than the passenger side, what could be wrong and how do i fix this? (besides buying coilovers)

i could swear it was like that from the dealer....is it common for one side to be lower than the other?

btw the rear is even.

 

hmm, how heavy are you?

 

ok good point i guess...im 180.

but i measured when im outside the car, from fender to lip of rim is uneven on front. but same on back...

 

just checking, but did you double check if the springs are sitting in the perch? only thing i can think of right now that would be an easy fix

 

just checked, everything seems to fit fine.

could it be an alignment issue? its just a few mm's off. Just enough to rub ! =\

 

one last thing to check....reverse park at the spot your measured the gap and measure again. ground might not be flat.

rubbing on driverside when you are 180lbs is, I dont want to say, normal

 

I have the same wheels with the same springs and I rub on the driver's side as well, but not just on regular turns, only if I turn extremely hard. Majority of the time it's on freeway dips so you should get it checked out if you are rubbing on normal turns. I am 180 also btw. Good luck.

 

even ground... when im not in the car...the left is lower than the right by about 0.5 cm.

Is it normal for one side to have a bigger gap? basically, do all s2000's come perfect from the factory?

 

It should be even from the factory, how long have you had these springs on?

 

Every civic/integra I've owned and seen is "lop-sided" (one side lower than other). I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case w/ the S also. I rub on the driver's rear during hard turns or big dips/bumps at high speed and I'm on stock springs (my tires are a bit wide), but I never rub the pass's rear.
