I have just fitted a pi 50mm lowering kit and its rubbing quite badly when going around tight corners on both left and right bends. i have also put the st 170 brakes on also. The car is on 17's does anyone know of any solutions.

Does it rub front or back?
Mines lowerd 60mm with 17" also have the ST170 brake setup

Mines sound as a pound but as i started doing trackdays
I invested in these



If you up rate your shockers your springs will not compress as quick there for less travel so no rubbing.

 

mines 50 on 17's.
same question as watson, tho if i was u id bin the pi, there nothing but problems. hated mine failed a few times, and now im on spax, and no probs at all

 

Looks like its PI springs then fella, never had a problem with any other make and i have fitted a fair few.

 

I had PI springs on my 1.6 focus and was lowered 35mm I think. Had no problems at all and thought they were fine. Had normal brake setup and was on 17's.

nothing you can do really mate...mind u i suppose you can remove the inner arch guards...if you do that make sure you paint or underseal the inside of the arches...Ford REALLY were tight with the paint!

for example, mine is lowered about 60-70mm and catches now and again on the inner arches.. (FRS) i can live with it though and just dont fully lock it unless i have to

thanks for the advice, i rolled the arches and seems to be no probs now, and yeh paint is only like 3 costs thick, selling the car now for something a lil faster.
