Hello from Berlin with my RS4 B7

[Rick_RS4]

Welcome along ProgLocker - Lovely looking motor and I love the stance. I am interested to see how you managed to get the front so low - I am running KWv3 coilovers with 8mm spacers and 255x35x19 tyres and one of my tyres [offside] rubs on the outside of the tyre. Have you had the arch lips rolled at all or are you running a very firm compression setting on your suspension to stop the rubbing and what tyres are you using?

Thanks

Kev.

im lower than this on the 19s and i think theres another rs on here the same, i have no scrubbing issues 4 up, you must have a problem somewhere or the ooffside is too low, not a large chap are you lol

Kev I think Rick has 6mm spacers and you have 8mm on the front. Not sure if that makes a lot of difference but if only one side is rubbing, the tolernace must be minimal and so 2mm may make the difference.

Or Rick is right and you ate too many pies.

Well

1) I took the 8mm spacers off today and the rubbing has stopped
2) I am getting the arches rolled
3) JPH how helped me today is running 12mm and the rear and 10mm at the front on KWv2's but his is a little higher than mine
4) Once the arches are rolled I'll put the 8mm spacers back on and I should have no issues with rubbing and will be able to go lower.
5) I have eaten some pies in my time but not THAT MANY
6) The rears will be dropped as well

theres nothing to roll on the arches, if anything its scrubbing on the arch liner

This is what I thought too.

After a good look this weekend It's rubbing on the inside lip of the offside front wing - you can see where the paint has been rubbed down and there is a slight rub mark on the outside of the tyre. I am sure its the spacers that are the cause

Agree, after seeing it, its def not the mudflaps as the sump guard is lower, this would be rubbing first.

Hope you get it sorted and nail this demon.

Try a set of 5 or 6mm if you don't want to lose the spacers altogether. Like i said earlier, Rick is runnig 6mm without any rubbing.
