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. The roll bar looks like a pretty good fit for being a bolt in.
I don't have any answers for you on the brake issue, but I had been wondering how the rotor can be hitting the lower control arm. There is very little equipment between the rotor mounting and the lower control arm. Not much there to change to cause contact...So i don't understand how it could happen. 2.5" drop is a whole lot on a 1G, but the control arm would have to be at a pretty severe angle to contact the lca wouldn't it? Does it hit on both sides? Does it appear that the lower controls arms are possibly damaged from some collision in the past? BTW - most 1G front rotors come off in pieces. They are fairly inexpensive though if you need to go back to stock temporarily. Good luck man. -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo
