I have a almost stock 1993 S13 Hatchback with stock 15" S13 SE wheels and Eibach springs and Tokico Blue dampers. I replaced the car with SPL Tension rods and Tein Tie rods + tie rods ends + spacers. When I turn my car full-lock to both direction, the tires rub against my car. Is that normal for adding the spacers since the spacers give me more angle? Any way to fix the rubbing problem?

I just installed Hawk HPS Brake Pads (HB262F.540 and HB231F.625) and Russell Stainless Steel Brake Lines. I used DOT 4 Alto Brake Fluid. Is it normal that brake pads touch the rotors even though the brake pedal is not pressed? It is like the brake pads are rubbing against the rotors. I test drove my car, but my car stopped slower. Before I replaced my old brake pads, and stock brake lines. When I slammed the brake hard, my car would fully lock up the rotors and my car would skid. I think that is normal because my car has no ABS. But after I replaced the brake pads and brake lines, the car would not fully lock up the rotors and stop slowly. Is that normal? I followed the correct procedures for bleeding my brakes and there should be no brake fluid leak for now.

Thanks!

they may rub a litle being that they are so thick.. did you break them in correctly? also they wont grab great at first, mine took a lil bit of driving before there started hookin up well

as the tires rubbing, i cant imagine them hitting the fender wells being that you are not very low..do you still have fender liners in? i mean just drive and let them rub for a lil but. take off the wheel. check where the rubbing occured and take necessary steps to help it, which for most of us slammed people thats taking a big hammer and smacking the **** out of your inner fender wells

I think the brakes are ok now. I need to bed-in the brake more.

As for the rubbing tires, the tires rub the inner wheel well when I do a full-lock right turn or left turn. I will do an alignment and if that helps.

i doubt it will help unless you have a rediculously high caster, which i doubt

Yea, I guess I need to hammer the inner well of the wheel.

I added a 1/4" wheel spacer, but my tires still rub the wheel well when I do full-lock right or left turns.



Should I just hammer that metal part of the wheel well?
