Default Ksport coils are on

I have those ksports on now. I havent been able to drive the car hard because I am rubbing a bit. Gonna have them alligned and corner weighted which should hopefully solve the problem.

These need to break in because they seem a bit soft. Install was weird too because they adjust in more than one place. Getting to the dampening is impossible because I have the sport bar that came with some S4s (apparently). My car looks good... pics to follow with impressions after I get everything situated.

sounds good, don't keep us waiting too long on those pics are they rubbing cause you have bigger/new wheels and rims or what? Or is it the coilovers need to sit for a week or two to break in like you said?

So here it is! The drop and my wheels. Shitty pics but the car isnt that clean.

So now I have a question and I hope people have some good answers! I need to get rid of the rub that happens. Its not bad but it stops me from turning hard. I can adjust camber or roll the fender.

Now, has anyone removed that inner fender plastic shielding? If I roll my fender, that **** will have to go. Will air be blowing into the car or is there a firewall there? My boys VW has that problem... dont know if its all Euros.

If I decide to go with camber, do my control arms allow for such an adjustment stock?

I want to start hitting these hard so I can figure out how they perform.

Where exactly are you rubbing? On the plastic shielding? I would not take it out completely, there is alot of crap in there that that protects from rocks. Just cut out like a long rectangle area where you see it rubbing on it, I know it seems ghetto, but the plastic should have enough strength to do that. Have you thought about like some small 4mm spacers? Finally control arms have no adjustment in them and to put the camber far out would put extra stress in the rest of the suspension but nothing too serious.

My wheels are at the fender wall because they are so wide. I was just thinking if I rolled my fender, tthat guard would have to go. If it serves a big purpose, I wouldnt do it.

Now its finding something that can support the camber up front. XD Yea, more $$$.
