Daaamn I'm getting old
i'm 20 now guys...
thats crazy!
lol..
On another note..
my rear left tire is still rubbing when i accelerate hard!
the car is lowered and the rims are 18" with 245/40/r18 tires.
Anyone know if this is normal because of my cars lower height/bigger rims, or are my shocks and struts just bad... it only does it on the left side..

Old? No. I turn 33 tomorrow. Feel like 80!
The car squats in the rear due to the torque split, even with new shocks and struts. Happens more on the left side due to the weight of the driver. So go on a diet.

RE: Daaamn I'm getting old
See i thought it was something like that...
but I am not a very big guy.. 5'7 155 lbs..
I had my friend who is about 200 lbs sit in the passenger seat and it still only does it on the left.
I have the old shocks with just about 94000 miles on them.
I was thinking about putting the stock springs back on but it looks soooo much nicer when its low..
and LOL to the underwear.
hahaha

RE: Daaamn I'm getting old
the rear wheels ( all of them in fact) are attached to the car by the suspension...... and the movement is limited and controlled by the links of the suspension. It is designed so the tire will never touch any part of the car, no matter how fat or heavy you are. with no shocks at all... and even no springs.. the suspension should not allow the tires to touch.
rosemount I am 5'7" 145.. my winter tires rub.... sofrom the above.... the design is crap lol
