Flush EP3 rubbing issue..again.

[Rick66]

Alright, I made another thread last week to solve a small rubbing issue I had with my flush EP3...problem was the tab that are holding the bumper so I cut them off and ziptied the bumper.

Now it never rubs except on dips on the highway driver side only, I hate that and I'd like to fix it. I will investigate myself tommorow but I just wanted to know if somebody had this problem in the past...I've seen some pretty bad ass setup on EP3s that are even more agressive then mine and I can't believe they all rub.

I don't want to raise my suspension because of this :(

Specs:

17x8.25 +25 205/45r17

You probably need more fender work pal.
Find where it's rubbing
And yes, if you have seen ep3's with more aggressive setup's, it most likely rubs.
I say most of the stanced and fitted cars all rub.

Also, soft spring rates can come into play.

More camber will help it clear more.
Tuck fitments don't rub as much as poke.
But Poke fitments can be much harder to rock as far as fender to tire/rim clearance.

I have the same exact problem and the exact same wheels but bigger tires (205/50r17). Mine tends to rub on the inside of the rear fenders. My rears are rolled flat but it hits the inside of the fender with all the undercoating on it. It doesn't cut up my tire or anything but it can get annoying. I have Megan racing coilovers on their stiffest setting and it still rubs. I just kinda learn to live with it and I'm lower than you too so mine might be worse

Alright guys thanks for the help! I fixed it today...it was rubbing against the bumper again! No more rubbing issue at all now, I'm soo happy..


Here's a better pic of the fitment, flushier then your 205/50 imo. Now I need to find some god damn 04-05 OEM Sides & rear wing...can't find them arround here :(
