Hi there,

I've got mudflaps fitted on my MY99 classic. I did plan on buying some eibach lowering springs, but I have a bit of a suspicion that the mudflaps may touch the floor with the springs fitted?

Has anyone else had this problem?

cheers.

 

yes on my newage when i fitted tein's, if it does happen screw mudflaps off and raise them, may have to drill new holes for them.

 

mine scrubs too, might raise or trim them soon

wiley

 

ouch

 

Yea just raise them up, have just done mine after a year or so as i couldnt take it anymore

 

also becomes very annoying everywhere you drive you hear them scrap the ground

 

Oh, and don't reverse over anything as you WILL rip them off trust me

 

Lowered 40mm on Teins here and yep the mudflaps scrape like a b**** whenever I go over bumps, slight ditches, down any slope (ie multistorey carparks) etc

It's only the front ones as there's only like 1cm gap, the back ones are fine and there's plenty of clearance there.

I bought the Performance Creation ones and they have another set of holes, so if it's too low for you then you can fit the flaps higher so there's more of a gap.
But personally I like the look of the flaps when it's almost touching the floor.


Get some decent quality ones and you shouldn't have a problem with them scraping as they should be able to withstand a fair amount of wear and tear!

 

I feel your pain dude, twice actually!

Mudflaps need to be an inch of the ground to stop em rubbing everywhere, which does become tiresome........and to ensure that you don't catch em on things when reversing, which is even more tiresome!

Fairly easy job to raise em though!

Happened to my Bug when I fitted coilovers, just took them off and trimmed them down a bit

 

mine rubs like a bitch but they are nearly worn down to the right length now
