My car is lowered with Bilstein HD shocks+pro kit.
spohn weld-on relocation brackets+BMR double adjustable LCAs+double adjsutable BMR panhard rod.

For some reason my left side(passanger side) of the car sits lower,i'm saying that because when i go over bumps i'm scraping my rear right wheel(side wall) with the fender.

Throw at me any suggestions. We looked at the spring looks alright, shock "sprining" ok too.

Thanks !!!

Tom, a few things to look at, is the rear end centered ( panhard rod ), was the rear spring rubber installed, LCA adjusted too far forward, relocation brackets welded in properly. Good luck.

Panhard rod was my last hope, we have adjusted it yesterday

but you gave me an realyl interesting idea as for my LCAs, i can prolly adjust passenger side LCA so it will make my car a bit higher on that side.

What you thinkm it is even possible ?

Thank you !!!

Your LCA should be the same length as the stock one, if your new LCA are the same length as the stock ones it won't help.

What kind of car do you have, SS, Z28, WS6...?, have you changed the size of your wheels/tires?

Keep me informed on your progress or lack of <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> .

here is what included into the kit
http://www.globalwest.net/camaro93.h...justment%20kit

the thing that i do not scrape my inner wheel wall, i scrape my external wheel wall (where it says the wheel specs). when i go over the bumprs, the wheel jumps in and hits the fender (i tried to roll the fender abit, didn't help).
I looked at those spacers i don't think those are for me and besides i'm not running so big tires like other people do. 285 isn't that big at all.
I will let you know how the install went.
Thanks

I can't say about the Trans Am ( W6 ) but all Camaro SS's have bump stops installed at SLP,
when SLP gets the Camaro it has the smaller Z28 wheels/tires on it

I still think it could be your panhard rod needs adjusting, I'd come over and give you a hand but you don't live in the same state...hell you barely live in the same country <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> .

If your car sits uneven, a tape measure will tell the tale. Its the springs or the sway bar.

I have seen many (most?) people adjust their APHR incorrectly. If you are having clearance issues, the APHR must be adjusted with the car supported by the axle with the rear springs removed from the car. Then you can spin the wheels and see where it's hitting.

If you still have interference issues, then you look at the spacers the factory installs on the cars with the 17" wheels (also available from SLP) which simply stops the wheel from moving up too far. Less wheel travel, fewer problems (but more bottoming out).

You shouldn't need to, but then you look at rolling the fender lip. I worry about rust in this area, so I avoided that.

Hope this helps.
