I've recently replaced varius small staff in my front suspension
including top mouts etc and the shocks.
Shocks are 2nd hand Willy std (KYB), which are softer than the DeCarbon I had on.

After going on a fast ride, I realised that the wheels would scrach the bumber-side of the arches, when cornering agresively :twisted:
I'll try to get some pics to show.
I had only noticed it before, under extreme cornering, a couple of times but not to such an extented form.
Does this happen to others as well :?:

P.S. My valver is on wide track and 195/50/15

Yeah my old willy scrubbed a bit off the inside of the bumper...it made clearance though and I had no probs with it.

No scrubage from mine, both on the 80k-old KYBs (have you bought my old stuff from adam?) and brand new stuff.

It seems to me it's quite common after all.
One thing is 4sure, I'm def need sth stiffer!
Either custom springs or coilover
Could be worse! ->http://photobucket.com/albums/a364/Jasonclio/th_arch.jpg
