HELP! BMR rears installed and...

[Oxfordbp]

So I only had time tonight to install the rears. Still stock up front. The rear tires now are tucked about 1" in the wheel well. They aren't supposed to sit that low! What the hell did o do wrong or forget?

Will be doing the fronts tomorrow. The only thing I can think is the front is so high that the geometry is lowering the rear more??? I'm concerned. Please help.

Thanks guys!

You got a pic of the installed springs to see what the deal is?

I do t have a pic of during install. But I have a pic of after. I just don't know how to post it

If it's only one pic from a phone the you can just attach it in the "go advanced" reply. Click the paper clip icon and attach it. Anything more than that, you might have to use a photosharing service like photobucket.

Picture posted?

 

[Oxfordbp]

Awesome. Did t know that!

Just a check here, but was it possible you installed the front springs on the rear? It's the engineer in me that I always check the easy things first. Lol

 

[Oxfordbp]

Haha. No. The rear a much wider than the fronts and I don't think they would fit opposite. But I appreciate the thought! Haha

 

[JAS550]

Haha okay just checking

If you could get a picture of under the car, that would probably help out a lot.

JAS550 dude you got me thinking. I think you are right and I fu**ing put the front springs in the rear. The oval shaped ones are what I put in the back. According to the web site those are the fronts. That just doesn't seem right to me though. OR IS IT? I'm so embarrassed! At least it you'll be an easy fix. Lmao.

Yeah, the oval ones are for the front. There is a higher spring rate in the rear. And that kind of stuff happens to all of us! I tried installing one of the tubes to my CAI backwards. Took me forever to figure out all I had to do was swap ends. Lol

So, how do I delete this post? Lol that's what you got for trying to beat the dark.

Thanks for thinking of the simple stuff. I never would have thought that. :frusty:

 

[JAS550]

No problem man. I'm just glad it's all figured out!

I don't think the fron would even sit in the rear housing. It's mostly because you've got stock 18x8 wheels with 235 tires. That's why it looks even more tucked than before. Pick up some 1" spacers or wider wheels.

I've got 20x10 all the way around and they are still not flush. Just ordered some 20mm spacers.
