Problem with new Azenis'
They were just mounted today and at full lock they rub. They are 205/50/15 on GSR 15x6 wheels. I'm not really that low. I'm running koni yellows with neuspeed sports, with the yellows on the low perches. I guess I have two options, live with the rubbing at full lock or I can raise the car a perch on the shocks. I'd rather not do the latter cause I'd have to basically unassemble each corner. Any suggestions?
Edit: Oh yeah, the car is a 94 Civic coupe.

Where is the rubbing? on the suspension? inner splash pan? or fender?

Also realize I have 1.5 negative camber front and 2.2 rear, 0 toe all around, dropped 2" and the tires are on 15x7" wheels.

That depends on how the spacing is setup on the shocks. If you don't like how low it is, raise it up and take a look and adjust from there. If you just don' t like the rubbing, leave it alone and the plastic will form itself or use a heat gun to form the plastic out of the way, or chop it out.

The Azenis are a wide tire..but more stick is better. In the 205/50/15 size..the Azenis have about a 3/4" per tire wider contact patch than the Kumho Ecsta Supras do...and mixed with a very sticky rubber compund for a non R-Compund tire, means good traction on the course and great traction for daily driving. I saw the Azenis in action this past weekend..great tire for the money.

but 20-25k seems real good for those tires. they are quite sticky.
i wonder how much more sticky the a032r's from yokohama are from the azeneis. and those things last for like 10,000 miles at the most
