Default roll cage people...

once you fitted your cage did you find that the rear tire's rubbed the arch when driving aggresively through corners? I presume its because the rear legs are mounted near the turret and the weight transfers to the back more?

Is there anything i can do to stop this?

It more likely it's the extra weight over the back end and the moved arch liner.
