Could it not be that it is only the mudguards that are rubbing on speed bumps? All they need is a bit of trimming on the bottom of them?

Noone but me, or him touches my car... and as it turned out, the wheels are rubbing on the mudguard, he is gonna take them off and move the screws and cut an indent into it to get rid of the bit where it is rubbing... :p

That's what he says.

Although that sounds like some seriously bent LCA's to me

Yeah It was an idea. I doubt the change from 215/45/17 (or the OEM 16" equivalent) to 215/45/18 would be enough to simulate an extreme suspension drop. On my 1st 5th gen, which was low, it was the mud guards that scraped.

@NafemanNathan, I dont understand that sentence. What does it mean?

LCA = lower control arm. I'd have thought a lower control arm would have to be bent in order for the wheel to be far enough backward or forward to rub on the mudguard.

Lower control arm.

Pic isn't a Prelude but the red bit. You can see if that's bent then the wheel will sit on the body lemonade.

EDIT: wot nafe sed

It's ok. I can see you.

Cheers, but things seem to have moved another way.
