Rubbing

[N4TH4N]

Think I'm in the right section..

182 is lowered on apex 40mm. Getting some rubbing on the front when turning. Any way to rectify this? Spacers?

Thanks Dave. Will try thism thanks alot..you lowered 40mm?

 

[cs_dave]

Im on coilovers would say abit lower than 40 tbh

How mine sits

 

[N4TH4N]

Very unassuming

I wouldn't say the car in the pics is more than 40mm lower. mine is about 25-30mm lower (measured from the ground to the subframe before and after) and it rubbs like hell when hard cornering (on hairpins mostly).
I wouldn't even think of going lower than this, the shocks would remain out of travel and with the slightest bump you will hit the bump stops.
On the rubbing: if yours rubs on the bumper bracket do as in the pics above (you are lucky if so, mine rubs on the chassis near the braket)

Drivers side would be slightly lower with you in it.[emoji6]

 

[N4TH4N]

Good point lol.Although no @cs_dave i could clearly see the passenger side rubbing and adjusted the arch liners to suit. But the drivers side is not so evident

 

[cs_dave]

Bloody pain that is aint it bet it drives you mad

 

[N4TH4N]

Yeah sick of this f**king clio at the minute. Only niggly things but they are annoying,
