if it starts in the morning, you can drive it harder

- Tue Mar 09, 2010 4:23 pm #180123 is your suspension stock? does your tire appear to be making contact with the suspension? an easy way to add positive camber would be to add washers/spacers between the upper trailing arm link, and the body, then use longer bolts.

Take some pics, the more the better

- Tue Mar 09, 2010 4:38 pm #180128 yea may also have bad or broken bushings in the rear suspension, check them for wear and check all of the trailing arm bolts to make sure they are tight and not broken. but something is seriously amiss

- Wed Mar 10, 2010 4:43 am #180318 hey off topic but are those coupe corners and are they in good shape. my bro needs a passenger side bad and we cannot locate one in state, some one backed into his

- Wed Mar 10, 2010 4:52 am #180321 not sure if they are meant to be coupe or not they fit my sedan where are you located and they are decent for temporary replacements but probably not good enough for long term

- Wed Mar 10, 2010 4:57 am #180323 nah ive got sedan ones he needed coupe/hatch

- Wed Mar 10, 2010 5:11 am #180328 the rear tire looks bad. Was it in an accident before? how is the suspension?

- Wed Mar 10, 2010 5:20 am #180330 when i got it it was like that it rides pretty rough in the rear it almost feels like it's hitting the bump stops but it's not near low enough for that

if it starts in the morning, you can drive it harder

- Wed Mar 10, 2010 5:24 am #180331 i think it may have been hit too bc of the bondo flake and the body lines don't quite match up

if it starts in the morning, you can drive it harder

- Wed Mar 10, 2010 6:05 am #180335 if that is the case, you need to find out if your suspension is even straight. and see if your frame is align as it seems to be off.
