Hi guys,

After some advice please I recently fitted some eibach springs to my blob eye wrx on the standard shocks and some 18" wheels, when I have two people in the back or take a left corner hard the rear drivers side wheel rubs, now this never happens to the passenger side.

I measured the distance between the middle of the wheel and the bottom of the arch and the drivers side rear is sitting 5mm lower is there any reason for this and is there anything I can do to sort it?

I got the eibach pro kit as I thought was the best option but I'm thinking of putting standard ones back on if can't sort this problem.

Many thanks

Chris

What are the wheel and tyre sizes?
What et are the wheels?
How many miles have the struts and the bump stops done?

Tyre size is 225-40-18 not sure on et, 18" like I say though only rubbing on one side.

Car has done 80k miles so I would have thought original shocks.

Just strange that the drivers rear is 50mm lower than passenger rear?

Nothing unusual about a 5-10mm side-to-side differential.

50/60k - change damper for optimum performance.

Bump stops worn out - allowing excessive compression.

All becomes an issue at lower ride heights.

Ok thanks for the reply, I'll change the bumpstop and see if makes a difference.

If you've got standard struts - the bump stop is under the dust boot:

If your struts are inverted? Then the bump stop is inside the strut, and the above link is not suitable.

It's a standard wrx mate. So you think should be the ones in link?
