brakes touching LCA

**evil R34** · 11-01-2009 06:55 PM

hi i got ek with k-swap with the eg crossmember and LCA's and i put buddy club p1 4 piston front calipers(come off an eg) with 300mm slotted rotors on and now wen i turn the rotor touches the LCA and is grinding away wen the car is on a hoist or the wheels are off the ground there is a 7mm gap between the rotor and the LCA but when its on the ground its barely 1mm i cant figure out which part is moving the LCA or the hub. any advice any1 could offer or any tests i could do to figure it out would b much appreciated thanks alot

If the rotors are touching the LCA. something is wrong. Don't drive it.
are the offsets on the rotor's correct to begin with?

im not 100% sure the are the correct offset but the rotors are traveling through the center of the calipers and it has all come off an eg civic and that didnt hav the problem

Jesus.. I've seen the threaded part of the lower ball joint get grinded down on the inside edge of a rotor on a honda... but the actual LCA making contact :S

I was not aware of Buddy Club making a big brake kit either...
