Could just be your guards hanging loose, what tyre profile are you running, and offset on the wheels?

+50 is standard,
Hm, have you checked your guards?
See if theyre all bolted on? and not hanging loose.

Put your hand through if you cant see.


With stock rims and those tyre profile, you should be able to dump your car low-as and not scrape. As I have done it.

they are integra blades... probs 50+then yer the rear bar is on securely and i cant feel any bit that it could be scraping on...the tyres sit above on where the guards fold in, its too close to say if they would scrape or go in.

could it be rear bushes? or mabi my bodykit scraping on the ground? im lost :|

turn the wheel full lock to the right, check where it's scraping

i don't see how handbrake turns will affect the front

oh well if that's the case, some bushing is probably gone back there
my guess is the rear trailing arm bushing

same thing applies though, go out and stick your head under the car
it'll tell you more than what we can tell you here

umm there was like a bit of a metal guard type thing on the inside of the rear tyre and it was scraping against that,,, got it rolled in and now its all sweet. :D
