Default for those who have Stasis tracksports...

what is your ride height? Im at 25" in front and 25 1/4" out back and I rub slightly when turning and hitting a bump. What is your ride height set at? I was at 25 1/4 & 25 1/2 before with no problem. The rubbing is very minimal, barely rubbing on the fender liner. I might raise the front 1/4 inch.

Default that's strange...

the rears on my car are set at the lowest they can go and show only a little less than a 2 finger gap on stock wheels... seems wrong...

how low are the tracksports supposed to go??

Default dunno, but i am nowhere NEAR the bottom.. im guessing i can get well under 25" if i wanted to

also, STaSIS has changed the thread range a few times, it could depend on the gen shock body you have.

if in doubt, just call STaSIS

no "clunk or clink noises, just a slight rub when making a off camber 270 degree turn with a small dip, Nyet and Frank probably know which off ramp im talking about.

did you drill the front holes through the fenderwell on your car? I wasnt feeling that daring when I installed mine, it looked like it was gonna be close to the wiring for the ecu box and the pass side was close to the stress bar.

up for PHO 99?

car sometimes rubs as well... especially because of my wheels...

however, the clunk/click is definately there. i can replicate it almost every time.

none what so ever, there is a freeway by my house that drops about 2" with a slight dogleg to the self, its not a shapt drop, but you feel it at freeway+ speeds, no clunk from that. when do you get the clunk noise?

Default Check the bolts on your subframe tiebar.

Loosen them up, and then make sure they are tight. Don't know the torque spec off the top of my head. I had the same problem and this was the cause.

Check everything else while you are down there
