    Default camber with my ae86

    Hey guys i recently put camber tops in my ae86.. i run xt130 corona strut with with chopped king springs.. I maxxed out camber on my right side -3 but on my left side my i can only get -1 as my spring coils are fowling against my strut tower.. Is there a possiblilty that the strut could of warped or bent , or the strut tower needs to be bashed out ?? There is no signs of the tower being damaged...

    Has anyone ever had this problem ? i want to sort this out and not resort to coilovers yet

    any ideas

    i am running 16x7 s15 rims with 205/55/16

    its common for the corona spring seats to foul on sprinter strut towers thats for sure.

    I plan on sending you my bare struts once johny rochester sends them to me its been 2 weeks now but i am wanting to sort this out.. so if its common what do people do to sort it out ?? bash the tower in a 5mm to give clearance for the strut/springs.. I am pretty sure the strut isnt hitting the tower yet its the spring coils but its weird how one side is pumping -3 with clearance but the other is hitting and -1 . Also is the corona strut physically bigger in size ?? ive welded ae86 spring perches on also.

    Appreciated guys
