Re: FS: TRD Japan Race Springs Rear AE86 6 KG/MM

Re: Fender bolt cutting up my sidewall (lowered) what to do?

I actually had a chance to have the alignment checked today. Everything is exactly on spec with the factory PS equipped car settings except the back which is a little off (no rubbing there though) I assume because I need an adjustable panhard. From the looks of it the outside top of the sidewall is ...

Re: Fender bolt cutting up my sidewall (lowered) what to do?

I spoke with the previous owner and the car does indeed have Tokico blues on front and rear and Megan 1.85" (orange) springs. Also like you read in the ad the car does have PS still. When I have the alignment checked (this Friday) if the caster setting is around stock (for a PS equipped car) wo...

Re: Fender bolt cutting up my sidewall (lowered) what to do?

Go in a empty parking lot and drive the way you were when your car rub and stop there and look inside see which part have a new marking from that rubbing.... Try put some kind of a compound on the spot of the sidewall of tires or where ever it rub and when you do hard rigth turn again it will prope...

Re: Fender bolt cutting up my sidewall (lowered) what to do?

At this point I'm out of ideas. Deuce, do you think the suspension possibly be out of alignment? I'm going to contact the previous owner tomorrow to see If an alignment was done after installing the springs. If not could that maybe be causing the issue if maybe the driver's side front tire was way ...

Re: Removing A/C But Keeping PS....Doable? Belt Size?

Thank you Grant. I was just trying to avoid the hassle of multiple trips to the parts store and the measuring albatross. That answers my question. I'll probably just leave the evaporator and plug the lines like you mentioned but pull the rest. Eventually I'll swap to a manual rack as well. Thanks fo...

Removing A/C But Keeping PS....Doable? Belt Size?

I tried searching for this info but was unable to find anyone that kept the PS after removing their A/C 87 GT-S with factory air that currently doesn't work....... I want to remove the A/C to get the weight off the front of the car and clean up the engine bay a bit but would like to keep the power s...

Re: Fender bolt cutting up my sidewall (lowered) what to do?

Just because you have aftermarket shocks in the back doesn't mean you have them up front. Unfortunately, there's no way to really tell without taking apart the strut casing (not saying you need to do this). At this point I'm out of ideas. That is very true. I am going to have a local shop put it on...

Re: Fender bolt cutting up my sidewall (lowered) what to do?

Okay so here's a quick update. The car does appear to have what I believe are Tokico shocks on it. Could see a stamp but they are Tokico blue. The Megan springs appear to be orange. I bent the tab shown In the photo all the way upwards and then trimmed the plastic off where the bolt connected to the...

Re: Fender bolt cutting up my sidewall (lowered) what to do?

Thanks for the replies, car has 0 offset wheels. I am going to try to bend the tab back upwards (glad that was pointed out!) and it that doesn't correct it I will go the zip-tie method. The passenger side doesn't seem to rub at all so I will check the tab on that side to see if it's in the correct s...

Fender bolt cutting up my sidewall (lowered) what to do?

New member here. Just picked up an 87 GT-S today from the classifieds here. Very happy with the car all except for I have a bolt in the driver's side front fender well area that is hitting my tire every time I hit a bump or the car encounters any body roll in a turn. Car is lowered on Megan springs ...
