UPR coil over and tokiko alumina issue

[badboysbailagnt]

So I have this squeak in the front end after installing ulr coil overs and tokico drag struts. Well the spring is rubbing against the coilover. Also the nut on top of the strut doesent seem to grab enough of the threads. Or is this normal. Heres a pic

I had to remove the 14" 175# springs that came with my D&D motorsport coilovers and put in 12" 175# to stop the rubbing and noise. The 14" springs bowed enough to contact both the coilover sleeve and strut body.

Hmm I had a rubbing issue my 175lb 14" where rubbing my stock 17x9 wheels a 1/4 inc wheel spacer fixed it,

I have mm cc plates and was short on threads on my strange struts, I removed on of my spacers all is well now.

svturbo thats where my springs are hitting i guess ill just have to live with it if im going to keep those spings in there.

kingcobra instead of running a spacer you can slighty grind the 2 lower strut bolts and that will allow you to run more positive camber at the knuckle giving you more room between the top of the tire and the strut

I lived with it for about 10k miles but the noise just kept getting worse.

The new springs are from summit racing and a good deal at only $35 each.
