Big break kit rotor rubing on Buddy Club P-1 Racing LCA - Front
 
hey guys. i just installed Buddy Club P-1 Racing LCA - Front and Wilwood 6 piston big break kits in the front (after i had a minor accident where i hit a fence) the rotor is rubbing against the LCA and rubbing a groove into the rotor. has anyone elsee had this happen, how do i fix it? i am thingking it has something to do with my coilovers... maybe one got bent slightly... any ideas

Can you take some photos of where it is rubbing?

One side only? If so something is likely bent.

Is the end of the control arm bent? I know you said after the accident but this is the first I've herd of clearance issues with anything other then wheels when talking about BBKs.

nope, they are brand new, installed them after the accident (OEM one bent).

Have you had an alignment since the accident? What is your front camber like?

i just zeroed it out. and it's no longer scraping. i am going to take it to the shop and have an allignment this weekend. and hopefilly that will resolve it.

If it's rubbing that way, you have some massive front positive camber.

The LCA is set too short, or your coilovers are bent (assuming the top hats are set properly).
