Default Should not hit any part of the car

cobred Your wheel should not hit any part of the car when turning. If it is, either the spring is too soft or the stablizer bar is twisting too much. If you are a big man and over the 200lb range, you might want to look at a heavier load spring or shorten the links on the sway bar for a stronger resistance of body roll. I run a race setup that is 40% stiffer than the street setup in the front end. This is with an all aluminium motor and 245 lbs of driver on 17" wheels. My car tracks flat without and roll now in the turns. If you go to a parking lot and do a couple of turns, hard right and left, look at the clearance between the tire and the fender of the car. Video Pictures are worth 1,000 words. You should see about the same clearance on both sides. Rick
