Hey all, kinda stupped here. Got a 97 s14 on a set of coilovers, would say a decent drop on it. Got all adjustable arms. Now i installed my wheels 18s and when i set the car on the ground seems like the wheel is pushed farther back in the wheel well. More space between tire and side skirt then space between tire and rear bumper(1 finger gap if that). I dont know if im going crazy but never remembered lowered 240s like this. I know i need an alignment but i just dont see with any adjustment how the wheel/knuckle assembly can move foward( MORE POSTIVE CASTER) then it is now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

You need to adjust the short arm in the back to match the factory length.

Mods lock.

Aftermarket traction rod was way to long to give me proper adjustments
