which are the strut/bump steer spacers, and what will replacing them do, if they havent already been done....
Um, the whiteline KIT as such doesnt exist anymore, some of the parts do, fulcrum basically made up the same kit really, mainly using there own parts, but i got the kings springs, koni adjust. front and rear, whiteline front & rear sways and front strut brace. New bushes and bumpstops throughout the car. I find it unreal except for the fact im running ET pulsar turbo mags??? with spacers???? with 195 60 16 tires on it, way to much roll in tires, there too big for the rims, but still f%$#ing unreal setup i think, also this is the first car i have ever had to handle good, ive always had triton utes for work.....
what do you mean by spring rates?? im not up on the technicals hey, sorry

Stuey,
I had the same problem, cuts some pretty serious groves in your discs!
I just took as much of the rib off as I needed to, and make sure you take of
metal around the front and back of the rib slightly so there is clearance
when you turn. also sounds like strut/bump steer spacers might be another
fix.
What do you think of the whiteline package? and what kind of spring rates are you using?
Hope this helps
