    Rubbing on the right side. Suggestions?

    1989 325i
    HR Sports with Bilstein HDs
    Hartge Type A 16x7.5 et25. 15mm spacers all around so it's at a +10
    Tires are Hangook RS2 215/45/16s.

    I'm rubbing on the rear passenger side at dips and left turns but never from the left side (even on right hand turns). The fender roll seems to be even on both sides and there's space, which is why I thought that the cause was a bad shock. I found another used HD shock on craigslist and put that on. The rubbing isn't as bad but I still get them on dips and on some left turns.

    Do you guys think it's the shock again that is going bad or could it be another issue? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks

    I am not certain but I do not think Bilsten HD's like lowering springs. Aside from that I would suggest putting thicker rear spring pads in to raise the rear a bit.

        they have them here http://www.pelicanparts.com/BMW/cata...pg6.htm#item40

        From what I understand, there were different thickness pads from the factory so you can get them at a dealer if you dont already have the thickest (15mm?)
