Ksport slammage!

Some pics of my drop. For some reason the car only rubs when I turn right, not left. And I scrape on everything, not even anything MAJOR, I'm talking just going down the road sometimes lol. And it bounces like hell nonstop. I need to play with the height (it has room to go way lower somehow. I wouldn't dare. I played with the height for 2 hours yesterday and it didn't raise up much at all. I might be doing something wrong lol. Anyone have a DIY on removing the fender lining? I saw one screwdriver clip and 2 philips-head clips but I don't want to mess with it until I am sure. Also my camber is way POSITIVE. I don't know really how to fix that...I should've paid the $300 for the shop to do it lol but the rears were too easy I had to try the fronts lol

yea I'll need an alignment I suppose. Just need to raise the front up 1/4 to 1/2 inch to clear the fenders. Rubbing sucks!

lower he says lol dude I scrape as it is. And I rub hardcore. I'm gonna put it in the shop and have them adjust it perfectly because I'm literally scared to drive it around, the camber is so bad

Yeh it's not very stiff. The fronts are set to maximum hard and the rears are set in the middle. I think I need to have them all set to the middle setting but still I think it'll bounce MORE that way. How do you tuck the fender lining in? There's one screw-clip and 2 philips screws that I can see and I can only get them by taking the wheel off...

From all the reviews i read about these coils.that was the only complaint i seen was about the ride and how every setting felt like it rode the same.

Adam, did you notice everyone is telling you to do what I told you days ago?
No ones listens. Ughh. I invented the fender liner mod.

Im telling you, loosen the 2 hub bolts and negative the fronts. You wont rub as much.
If they dont move Ksports suck and have no camber adjustments.

Side note. Looks so much better. And Im glad you ditch those old wheels for your currents.
Theyre sexy.

Fender Liner Mod.
Remove the upper fender clips and plastic inserts. (3 I believe?)
Leave the lower ones in, the ones by the sideskirt and on the skirt.

Push the fender lining up and over/past the inner metal fender lip. Itll make a pop sound.
Thats it. Save the clips in case you want to put it back.

While youre there the metal tabs that held the plastic inserts bend them somewhat flat with your fingers. Somewhat easy.

How do I negative the fronts? I loosen the 2 bolts, and what, twist it? Push it in and up? In and down? I will do the fender mod tomorrow first thing after work. Friday get an alignment hopefully, then come down so you can help me fix this thing. I'll just give you the headlights if you can fix the fact that I have no knobs to adjust front dampening lol
