Hi guys

I have had the suspension and engine in the car for over 6 months sat in the garage.
The set up is new hi-low, new rubber cones, new gaz adjustable shorter shocks with 6x10 wheels.

The car has settled but it's still looking very high. The hi-lows are set to as low as the possible can be but due to the car being so high the outer part of the wheel rubs of the wheel arch when turned in.
I feel if it wasn't so high it would sit better into the arch and it would not rub.

Can anyone give me any advice on how to solve this issue.

6x10s tend to rub any way.

 

lowering will not really help.

 

pictures of the car side on. Would be good as well as what type of rubber cones you fitted. As some are good and other not so good to poor for a road car.

I don't know what type the cone is as it was purchased over a year ago

I have attached picture of the front driver side. The best I could get as it is tight fit where it is. As you can see it is very high and rubs of the arch in the photos.

Thank you for the reply
