So in the end the guy charged me 75 bucks which is cool cuz , i was about to get raped with 300 at the auto shop. Yes im a noob with my car, but i had a question with my ride height and quality... oh , i should let you guys know im running on stock rims and tires.. 15" rims and such... anyways the car feels and handles way better than before ... (obviously since my other suspension was shot) my only concern is that i can barely have any weight in the back or trunk before my car starts scraping or sounds like the tire rubs when i hit something... i want to know if thats normal with an install like this. If your wondering, yes i did take it to get alligned and they charged me 80 bucks which i though was too much and there still was a drift to the right, the guy said that had to do with me getting a camber kit. I remember when we installed the front springs and struts we pulled out the wheel as much as possible to avoid rubbing, cuz it was burning up the tire before. as far the the rear ones i dont know if there is any change in degree ... sorry for the long ass story but i want to be assure im doing things right.. thank you

Re: Just installed H&R cup kit (gjetta89)

Good choice with the H&R cup kit. I personally have weitec xs coilovers, but my bro has the cup kit and loves it. What size tires do you have on your car, cuz they look to have more sidewall than 205/50's??
 
Re: Just installed H&R cup kit (gravitymachine)

i would seriously check the tires.
i used to work on vws for a living, we would get soo many mk3 vr6s that would come in with mk4 sized tires on them. i don't know what some of the tire installers are doing.
the correct tire size for your car is: 205/50-15
i bet you have 195/65-15 OR 205/60-15

about three years ago i had a cup kit on my mk3, it was also uneven at the rear. i also had a few other problems with it. sold it after 2,000mi.
