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 |

Nice wheels and tires too!!!
 Wierd though about the positive camber. Given the geometry of the suspension, the control arm stays the same length (because we haven't changed it) but the strut assembly shortens due to the shortened spring height. This "should" result in negative camber, or for those that don't know, when the wheels are slanted in at the top of the tire and out at the bottom. I don't understand how it could be different unless the springs actually made it taller. If you could post some of the sites where you got the information, maybe we could read over and review the findings for further scrutiny. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"
