Empi 8's
Sbug 71 - September 1st, 2011 at 08:53 PM

Has anyone fitted Empi 8's to a super bug and had the ball joint studs fouling on the inner rim when doing tight turns i.e. car park.
If so, will a camber adjustment fix it or is it going to be more complex?

how low have you dropped it. i found that any more than 30mm in a drop and you had to trim the bolts to stop them from hitting the inner rim.

It's not that low at all yet. Planning to fit adjustable struts soon to make it lower. At the moment I think it's had a coil or 2 cut out of it. Any experience with them? Good or Bad?

The struts I mean; not the coils.

get rid of the cut springs
That is your problem

Get either some adjustable struts or some struts with lowered cups

worst way to do it. id do the same as what barry has said.

I thought that may be the case. I've already got the struts, just chasing down some standard springs to fit them with.

I have a couple of complete struts and a pair of lowered ones,but may be able to pull a pair of springs to get you out of strife.PM if interested
