I installed some Tien s tech springs on my car, drops the front 2.2 and 1.5 in the front. Im running 18x9.5 inch rims that have the 94-04 mustang offset so the stick out a little further.well i recently changed the tires to 285/40/18 in the rear and 275/40/18 in the front. they used to be 245/40/18 front and back. with the new tire setup i have noticed the drivers side rear tire sticks out half an inch further from the fender than the other side. anyone else run into this problem lowering their car?my coworkers think its the trac bar but i cant find any adjustable trac bars. any help would be appreciated.
 
... I hope you installed the adjustable camber bolts.
Otherwise the inside of your front tires will be down to the steel bands in no time. :)

Not really, unless you're running Sportlines you can get it within factory specs. Granted that it's not perfect, it's not going to ruin the tires. Slotting the struts is a much better way to get unlimited camber essentially. Most alignment shops know how to do this.
 
Thanks for all the help everyone. One more thing LOL, I have a popping noisein the front end when turn either direction.any ideas?

And anyone expirence a loud rattle at start up?on last for like two seconds. Oil level is good .
 
Since we are sort of on the suspension topic.

My springs came with a plasticy rubber like tube on the bottom of each front spring, I would assume they are for the insulator to reduce noise.

The stock springs, had a much thicker, rubberier, like tube. Should I have reused the stock insulators over the ones provided by Eibach?

The instructions say to reuse all stock materials..but I felt that wasnt necesarry?
 
The forum would be dead if they didn't post the same ole' questions over and over. ;) :SNSign:

+1 We wouldn't have anything to talk about since every week someone aks about the best CAI/tune, what oil to run, what gears to get, which FI is the best, which exhaust sounds better, and what wheels and tires to get. Thats just the ones off the top of my head. I'm sure most people would agree.
