Hey guys, so I'm running 18x7.5 +54 fronts with 225/40/18 and all was fine then one day going up the drive way it pulled my passenger fender out.

I raised the fronts since then and I realized that the passenger sits a little bit lower than the driver side with the same setting on the coilovers.

Also I found a leak on the passenger side coilover.. Would that be the reason why it sits a little lower?

So now I'm wondering what steps I should take to fix this.. Send the coilover back to tein for an overhaul first? or is my wheel fitment having issues?

Thanks in advance guys!

are your front fenders rolled? u shouldn't be rubbing unless ur running slammed, also with my experience with different types of coilivers, they don't always sit at the same height

tkeyyy

took awhile for me to get my car at the height i wanted and it wasn't the same on drivers/passenger side lol.

It was slammed haha but I raised the fronts 1/2 an inch to stop it from rubbing. It was making full contact with the fender going up any slight drive ways.. It's on Tein Super Racing. Wondering if I should send the leaking one back to Tein for repairs..

Fenders are rolled too still rub. Just on that one side.

do you have bump stops installed on the coilovers from allowing it not to bottom out on the coilover? also it should be normal if your that low and going up and down driveways to come in contact with your fenders, my car does the same. how bad is the leak? if u wipe it, does it come back right away? etc? i know some coilovers have slight leakage like the kw v3's is a common issue.

Not sure about the bump stops, I have to double check. The leak is not too bad it's manageable, but I'll probably look into fixing that soon. Any way to go up a drive way without messing up the fender? It was fine for months then one day it just messed it up.

Another question. I'm running 18x9 +68 rears and I need new tires soon. What size tires should I get?

some basic tips on steep driveways, keep your wheel straight & and go in at the max angle possible. im running 255's on my x9 in the rear, you can also run 245 etc depending on your setup

Thanks for the tip are your rears rolled? Any rubbing? I'm pretty much slammed.
