I'm having a similar problem, but with less drop, on KW V2 - front driveshafts grinding on the body under hard cornering

With about 30~35mm drop, both front and back, I've noticed that the front driveshafts grind on the car body under hard cornering on the track.

Is the car just too low or could it be that my bumpstops are worn out or something?

My 172 is lowered about 50mm all round, and I have no scrubage issues at all.

what size/profile tyres are you using?

with 50 profile my pug scrubs on full lock, with 45 it clears the arch no problem

I'm on 195/50 R15, standard tire size for ph1, but I don't have tire scrub, I have drive shaft scrub

Where the hell is everyones driveshafts scrubbing lol!? I don't know of any sport lower than mine (equal yes) but I don't knock my driveshaft anywhere :S

 

[markblack172]

they knock just as they come through the bay into the arch around half way down the shaft,
mine does this but the front bumper is only 3" off the floor

My bumpers about 2 inch off the floor and doesn't do this ever, weird1?

I only hear the buzzing when it's undergoing extreme cornering - at the Nurburging - Flugplatz, Steilstreckenkurve and Galgenkopf
