BBS RS/BC Coilover Rubbing?

Post

Back to the top
Morning folks!

Recently put some BC coilovers and BBS RS on my cabriolet and when i reverse i get a rubbing noise from my rear passenger side. The ride height clears the arch so it’s not rubbing there but can’t seem to pin where it’s rubbing.

Any ideas where it could be coming from?

Thanks!

What size and off-set are your wheels? Large tyres? 
With no adjustment of the coil-overs (camber) they must be fitted correctly. Axle offset to one side a little?
I'm running ET25 with 195 50 15s with no issues.
You may need to run a wheel or stub axle spacer to give you the clearance with your wheel / tyre combo.

I have seen tires rub on the Strut Tube where the spring seat and on the springs, when the tires were changed and they had non-oem coil over kits installed.  

Decades ago when I bought a set of wider tires for my Diesel Bunny (yes you call it a GOLF) They only rubbed on the inner fender on a lock to lock turn and in hard turns in parallel parking.  Otherwise they were a Joy to drive on.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

Hi

What weight coilovers did you go for? I noticed the BCs offer different spring rate?

Still interested to know what spring rate is advised on BC coilovers.
