OK everyone, here is a good one....on my 00 Civic Si I had H&R Sport springs which in the front were supposed to lower 1.75 inches. I have 17 in wheels with 205/40/17 tires. There is absolutely no fender gap - in fact the tire even sits a little under the fender. On the passenger side when I take a right hand turn quick and hit even a small bump the tire rubs on the inner fender liner. When I spoke to H & R about this they told me that the person who installed these (I bought the car that way) probably cut the bump stops. Would that matter ? Do the bump stops actually support the weight of the car ? I thought that they only came into play to keep the shock from bottoming out. I don't know anyone with a stock Civic Si so I can measure the distance from the center of the wheel to the top of the fender opening so I can compare it to mine and see how much lower it is.
Can anyone help ?
