makes me worried now! i ordered eibach sportlines and those sit as low (if not lower).

my guess would be that thr front struts are blown and allowing the springs to fully compress.

seriously... does anyone else have this problem?

I never heard of that happening with hotchkis springs.

I usually hear that from people that have Tein S-techs.
But you never know, anomalies do happen every now and then =p

is this true? first time i've heard of it for sure... but i was searching (hence the resurrection of the topic) i've got crazy rub now in my front fenders. my s-tech's have been on for almost 10 months (and about 15k) and have settled quite a bit. i love how slammed it looks, but just this last month i've had some crazy crazy rubbing in the front fenders.

roll em? blown struts? any help would be appreciated, thanks!

go buy yourself a 20 dollar spacer that gets inserted into the gaps of your springs... problem solved... BTW your shocks are probably blown also ... have a nice day.

ok, i'm gonna bring this one back from the dead again....

sorry, been a while since i've been on here, but here goes:

2006 tC with 65k now on stock struts, i installed my s-techs around 35-40k

about 10k miles ago i started to notice some serious sound / grindage coming from the front, and my fenders have got some nice rub on the interior lining.

here's a photo, i'm thinkin the stock struts are done
