i installed the GC coil overs with kyb agx, but now when turn all the way to the left or all the way to the right the tires are rubbing (against the black thing?) is this common?

i just put gc's on my car a couple weeks ago and have the same size rims and tires as you and i dont have a rubbing problem. mine is lowered about 3" (yea i know...i dont drive it except around the block right now...by the time i drive it again ill have shortened struts). i do remember though that when i installed my tein s-tech's i heard a popping sound when turning. is this what you are hearing?

My car does the same thing it's just the tire rubbing the fender well. If it's only when you turn really hard i wouldn't really worry too much about it.

I got the Motivational Coilovers...w/ shorten struts..
..3 1/2 inch drop..no problems..no rubbin' noise. And I'm rockin' the 17's w/ 205/40's..

Katana200sx.. ..I had the same problem w/ the poppin' noise.. ..that's when
I use to have Arospeed Coilovers.. ..I think its becuz of the top
of the springs, they grip & rub. When I got Motivationals they
sent a "bearing" piece that made turning so much better &
quieter.
