Well, I can't say I wasn't warned. I have been out of the country for nearly three months. I come back, looking forward to driving my car after I had it lowered earlier this year. Take it out for ONE day and the left rear tire is shredded on the outside edge. I could hear it rubbing going over highway speed dips. I'm not an idiot so I slowed down. In town, I took a driveway slowly thinking I was acing it. WRONG. I get back on the highway and I hear a weird flapping sound. I already knew what the sound was. Terrified, I exit the car and yep, shredded to shit!
I have no other suspension mods. I run 295/35/18. BFG G-force KDW's in the rear. The guys who installed the springs had a helluva time putting them in 'cause they didn't have a compressor. Finally they had to get one. Duh! This shop's been around for awhile, good rep. Is it possible they messed something up? I hear a weird creaking sound from the rear, too. Not a lot, but sometimes. I'm pretty sure they left the stock isos on when they put the new springs in.
I knew these springs were softer sprung, but...is this normal??? I'm gutted, man. I can't even drive the damned car now. Obviously I'm taking the springs out but I'm afraid to put anything else in other than the stockers. I shouldn't have had to roll the fenders for a 295/18 tire, right? I mean...really? Now my husband is pissed and is trying to talk me in to putting the stockers back in. I understand his irritation but I want to try the Race Springs.
Any and all advice appreciated. Thank you.
