Message The wheel itself rubs the lower control arm when HICAS activates during high speed turns. Although i didnt hear any rubbing, when i parked it, i found little tiny shavings of aluminum inside my wheel....i was like wtf is that? Looked around i didnt see anything....later on when i went to my buddies house i went nosing around under my car and i saw my inside of the wheel looked like it scraped something.

Now its got a pinkies worth of space so i was wondering how it rubs...it turns out the when the hicas activates countersteer the wheel lightly rubs the LCA.

I guess i got 2 options, 1)run a small 5mm spacer, or 2) get a HICAS locker....im leaning more towards option #2 even though the HICAS didnt bother me much and i learned to live with it.

Looks like when i lowered it this extreme that the LCA gets slightly closer to the wheel by its natural triangular geometry, and with HICAS enabled it makes enough movement to rub the LCA, i never had a rubbing issue there ever prior to these coilovers. blah, ill deal with it tommorow.
