my car is pretty low with 215/45/ 8 inch up front, harness tucked and fenders hammered btw. Problem is , whenever i turn / hit small bumps, i rub HARD! i added alot more - camber up front, but its the same thing.

One question is, will - camber to the front wheels make your rub more against the fender or less when turning?

Also on the drivers side its rubbing REALLY bad on the front wheel well, i noticed my swaybar/tension rod braces have NO bolts, could that be a possibility why its rubbing so much on that side under bouncing/turning?
Finally, does anyone know the bolt size that goes through the swaybar/tension rod brace?

camber wont do much at all unless ur rubbing fender
what u need to do is hammer your wheel wells to high hell

hammer everywhere
when u take ur wheel off u will see the scuff where your tire is hitting

hammer it all!!

not off hand
that one always falls out over time. hadit happen to me too

i think its a 14mm
thread pitch not sure

here's what u should do

GO TO OSH (orchard supply) with your car. buy one bolt and test it. when u find the right one get more.
and buy thread loc too so hold them puppies in

Hey the holes holding the power brace and sway bar dont line up to the hole on the bolt closest to the rear on the passenger side. Is this going to be a problem? Also 2 bolts in the front of the power brace snapped off so only one holding each side in the front.
Also Do you have to worry about the wheels rubbing the coolant reservior after taking off fender lining?
