    Tannabe coilovers

    Hey guys just adjusted my front coilovers to lower the car but didn't adjust the rear and now I get this rubbing sound coming from the front. Am I supposed to adjust both front and rear?

    mine is lowered in front more than the rear but it is not rubbing at all. try to higher it a bit, maybe it is hitting the guard. does it rub while driving straight or only while cornering.

    Only when I'm cornering, also does it matter if I put the front coilovers in on the wrong side?

    rubbing sound could be a number of things, rubbing against the inner guard lining, like most lowered cars, even mine does it, than u have the actual tires rubbing against the metal guards, but unlikely, as they are already rolled from the factory, u can roll them even further, but unless ur going for a hard out stance than u wont need to... only the rears...

    U can remove the inner guard lining but best to leave it if u want a clean engine bay

    adjust the height so its either even all around like what i do... measure twice, adjust, than leave it as it is....

    which tanabe coilover kit you guys are running? I've got a GF kit, everything is fine apart from the clunking sound I get from the rears. Looks like its the metal cover sitting between the top hat and springs. It rattles on the side top hat on bumpy roads.

    you guys get this as well?
