Default Yup

I dont run nearly as low and have a far stiffer suspension setup then yours and need to roll. You will be sorry on the first pothole /bump you hit in a corner.

Default Thanks for the info

My stock suspension was totally shot. I got this setup used for cheap to hold me over until I can get coilovers. I would hate for it to ruin my autocross season...

Default If you start to hear *"pfffffft"* under load

your tires are rubbing on the liner.
Next step is the tire creasing your wheel arches-which can be $$$ to fix.

Default fix

Will rolling the fenders be enough? Or will I need to get different springs/not autocross until I get the coilovers.

...I think I am going to take it very easy this weekend and be extra cautious. I will chalk the liners and if I see any on the tire, I will stop.

Default Re: fix

Beyond my scope of knowledge, sorry, others on here can help you far more than me. I have OE+1 wheel and tires and not running very low at all (guessing 26 1/2" ish F). Stasis 800/900 Tracksports (very firm), rolled fenders and I still rub liner on sharp reverse banked turns taken agressivly. Coilovers wont help though - its your ride height thats the problem.
