hey everyone, i own an s13 with tien lowering springs, and 17's with 215/45/17 tires, the front tire on the drivers side is rubbing the strut, but only on that side. I was debating on getting spacers, but im wondering if this is a suspension problem possibly since its only on one side.
can anyone give any insight?

I have a 3mm... also if you have access to a hand file you can take the top hole of the coil, the one that bolts to the hub/spindle, there are two and Iam refering to the top one of these. and turn it into an oval. when you do this make the oval extend towards the outside of the car. you dont need much. what this does is gives a pivot point for the wheel to move from the springs by letting you have some what of an adjustment. just make sure you torque it back to the correct torque or one hard bump or sharp turn you know you messed up...also this is for coils that you can adjust camber with. my tein super drifts are like this, dont know if thats how they were made though, might be some other genius
