lowering question
 
What is the lowest you can go on a 15/50/205 tire on a 93 hatchback?. I dropped it 1.8" (intrax spring & kyb strut) for a mx3 and I hear the loud annoying vibration from the passenger rear suspension area...it gets louder the faster I go. Somebody did sudgest changing the wheel bearing which makes a similar noise.

thats not characteristic of rub. i have 15/50/205's on mine, and a 2 inch drop with no rub. id assume its your wheel bearing or something else similar

did you get an alignment after you droped it.

Liquid_Ag March-7th-2004 02:37 PM

yes. i did the mx3 alignment

well when you lower any car you change the caster, and toe of the tires. rotating the strut mounts will help correct this problem, but a _real_ allingment is needed to fully correct it

Wouldn't you change that camber not the caster??

your mainly changing the camber, but it also effects the caster.
