Hi..

Ive just lowered my car -60mm on g-max springs & shocks and wen i sometime go on full lock it scrubs on the inner liner of the wheel arch...How can i stop this?
People have said take it out is it only help on with screw ect and what about all the shit coming up in the engine bay?
Ive got speedlines 2 and its only started doin it since i got new tyres as it sorta made the tyre bigger it doesnt scrub on full lock on a flat surface but with i go over a very small bump it does?

Any ideas people..

leave the liners in.

if its only touching lightly on full lock over bumps I wouldnt worry about it. You could try and use a 3mm wheel spacer then get your tracking checked but thats about the only thing that will help.
