hey, I installed my stance coilovers and got them all set up correctly finally, and my r.f. wheel sticks out of the fender more than the other side. they are the exact same height on both sides and I aligned it and camber is the same on both sides. I cant find any visible frame damage or anything like that and the fenders line up with the doors and sit flush with them. the only thing I can think of is frame damage but like I stated I cant see any damage and it was very simple to get it aligned to spec. any help would be great thanks.

Well someone before you could have messed with the sub frame and it could be off...

is the subframe adjustable? I think this could be the problem I will try to adjust it tomorrow and also bring my camber in a little bit more. I will keep you updated.

When you say they are the exact same height on both sides, do you mean the coilovers were pre-set to a given height before install or the 4 corners were measured and then the height was adjusted accordingly?I had initially pre-set the height on my Teins thinking that outside of my giant eggplant shaped manliness the ride height would be off just a hair. Come to find the entire driver side was sitting off-balance by a few turns without me in the car. The Blitz exhaust that I am currently running is a heavy mofo. More so than stock. And I can only imagine in it's rough life the frame is probably a bit tweaked, though I know of no accidents on this particular car. Outside of a 3 year gap most of which was spent spent parked on an uneven slope.I would suggest checking the lca's for straightness and the bushings for any damage.

I measured it by going from the ground to to bottom of the fender. I have been pretty busy with other stuff but I will check my bushings and control arms soon.
