what type of front hubs did you use?
are you talking about the front or rear lca?
post several pictures at different angles
front calipers to be exact.
i used OEM replacement from mynismo.net and my left rotor dont rub against the LCA.

how did you do your 5 lug? did you get hubs or you got the whole thing from an s14, like with lower control arms and everything.

im as confused as you are...did you remove the splash shield all the way or cut it? maybe it's rubbing on the backside of the rotor.

Yeah Lonie, that isn't possible, check to make sure your dust shields aren't binding and hitting the brake rotor at full lock.
i just bought the hubs and took off the dust shields because i forgot to grab a grinder at my friends house.
well i just got back from my friends shop, found out that LCA is bent so i will need a new one. top of that, i need my rear left and right control arms which are bent also. thanks for helping me out guys.
wth?
how are they touch your rotor.... takes some pix ne ways haha...
meng how were they all bent? did you go 5 lug kuz your trashed your 4 lug?

Uhhh wow, that's all I gotta say.
Make sure after you change out those LCAs you get an alignment, you're probably wasting a fortune on tires.

You needed a shop to tell you that your control arms are bent? How did you not see that when doing the 5 lug and brakes? I'm not trying to pick on you but you must have been looking right at them while working.

i bought the car off my friend, he did get into an accident and another friend said he fixed it a little more. when i had my 4lug, it was koo and noticed the rear-end kept moving and i was assuming alignment. after the conversion i noticed the right wheel made a loud squeak sound and then that's when i went to my friends shop to see whats causing that. i didnt really notice it even my other friend checked it out and was like why the hell is the lca hitting the rotor blah blah. i'll try and take pictures today so you guys can see it.
i couldnt really tell by just lookin at it because it's running pretty straight. went from 15x7 to 18x8/18x9.5 so yea.
