Air Lift Performance Issues

[csong30]

Long story short, I went with the convenience of air ride for looks and just daily driving.

One thing I learned is convenience and major headaches over and over. I've taken time on the installation and polished out the small knicks, but when I fix the smaller issues I tend to run into another problem.

My question is has anyone have had issues with the bag on the driver side rubbing really badly to a point where you have to hammer out the strut tower well?? I've noticed that the driver side does it worse then the passenger side. Is there fixes for this wear we can max the camber plates or would I need to push it out a little further away from the strut tower??

I honestly don't remember running into so many issues when I used to run coilovers on other vehicles.

All I did on my setup was remove the strut from the driver front side, take out the plastic clip things, and take out the metal bolt. I did not really need to hammer anything out. I also have my camber plates maxed out in the front on both sides.

Are your bags sitting on the strut tower wall though and causing any rubbing on the bags from airing out?

Nope. No rub. Which not all cars are exactly the same. You might have to make some room.

I guess that makes sense. The only I did to get some clearance was just hammer the strut tower.
