Hiting mudguard when cornering
Hello and Happy New Year!
Iam on Leda 320/270lbs and Godspeed Brembo for few days on my oldshape turbo. Swaybars are OE with MRT poly bushing and links. Car height is 16,5cm front and 18cm rear measured at side skirts. Wheels are OE 205/50/16.
Problem is with ET after Godspeed brakes car axle is cca 1cm wider and I can push the car more to its limit but I hit mudguard with tire
Question is what can I do now?
1. change front height to 18cm?
2. Stiffer swaybars?
1. What is ideal car height? Is it good make car nose a little bit lower and why? Due cornering forces?
2. I this case I need booth front and rear. If I change front only can can become more unersteer... what I really dont need.
Many thanks for help.

if you're rubbing on the inner fender liner/mud guard
the car is simply too low
how low is it sitting?
typically anything below 1-1.25" in the front can cause issues
I rippled a fender once upon a time with an incorrect setup.
I'd recommend getting the car back up a tick.
Did your suspension come with alignment/setting specs?
it's a good idea to start with the manufacturer specs
and then toy with the setting from there....
