well i put the aem big brakes on. my problem is that the rotors are rubbing the lca. i didnt think there was a difference between the awd and fwd lca's, but am i wrong??
i took a grinder to the lca's and removed a little bit of material and that helped alot with the rubbing. but didnt totally eliminate it.

the only thing i can figure is that since my car is dropped 2.5" and dropping a dsm gives positive camber, i need to get a camber kit and give myself some negative camber


any thoughts or input would be appreciated!

one thing is for sure.. it was definitely a good upgrade.. stops a hell of alot better!

btw, does anyone know who aem sold the design to?
i wanna get replacement rotors for it
