Front rubbing

[Greeny.]

Afternoon,

Had my Spax RSX's fitted for a couple of weeks now, removed my 25mm spacers as they rubbed alot at the height I wanted the car, now running 5mm spacers and its still rubbing slightly :S Never had this issue with my old car at all and that sat slightly lower. My tyres seem to be rubbing on the metal front bumper mount, it only happens under hard corning when the front shock is being compressed, eg over a bump. Now im tempted to bash the mount slightly but of course I don't want to break it or make it impossible to undo it if when I need to remove the bumper, thoughts?

makes it awkward as you change the angle the bolt goes in, but it's fairly normal to have to bod that bit on very low cars. I'm not running that low particularly, but my bumper isn't held on by those bolts anyway. it clips in quite positively.

The thing is it isn't even that low! I've already stiffened up the shocks abit but short of running some crazy camber im gunna have to bang this up abit, it only seems to happen on the front right :S

Dan would you normally hit this bit forward or up if that makes sense?

I'd bend it up. Had to do it a lot before, even just on springs for some people running 16s (apex springs usually)

I had to bend the bracket on mine, just be careful not to over do it as it pulls the corners on the bumper under the wing

same problem here, on the pic it doesn't look like you can bend it up?:S ( me being thick again)
