body roll 2

[mzhun]

I posted this note this morning on shop talk, but got no response. Hopefully my GA natives have the answer. I am getting tire rub on the drivers side and have the coil overs set 3" between body and tire. I really don't want to go any higher and wonder if anyone has had success with any of the kits advertised???
Thanks,
Matt

Well Matt will give it a shot my guess is if you have that mutch room over the tire(if you have'nt got the coil overs at the max) the shocks are not stiff enough.

Thanks, I am only 1/2 way down the treads on the coilovers. Not much experience with these so I am trying to figure it out.

Matt you should have enough spring if it is not bottoming out with 1/2 left I belive that most Aldan shocks has a damper adjustment on them if that is the case turn the effect up that will slow the body role.

matt
my guess is the coil overs need rebuilding i went thru this myself with aldan coil overs, if theyre dropping the body to the tire set on #3 then they probably need a new seal

Matt,

What rearend do you have in your car? Has it been narrowed?

Matt - from personally seeing your car, I'm going to say it's one of two things (or conbination of both). Your rear end needs to be narrowed or you need wheels with a different offset/backspacing. It really looks like your wheels are sticking out too far, where they should be 'tucking in' under the wells better.

Thanks for all of the tips. I think Bud nailed it, as I didn't build the car, it has centerlines and a standard 9" that has not been narrowed. I am also going to check that shock setting.
