the mags fit fine and dont rub, heaps of room behind the mags but the car will not move....do i need spacers/adapters? cheers! (they are superlites on a ke36)

Check and make sure the inside of the rim isnt touching up against the shock as this happened to me not long ago when i fitted coilovers and done the wheel nuts up it clamped against the shock and it didnt move so i got 8mm spacers and its sweet as now

no theres heaps of space back there...thats what i dont quite understand...

by **MOLLY** » Wed Oct 05, 2005 7:49 pm

hmm i think i found the problem, the front brake callipers are sticking out the smallest bit...so i guess i do need spacers...???

by **trueno_20v** » Wed Oct 05, 2005 7:58 pm

Yup just put washers on the studs (dont drive with them on lol) just to work out how big you need the spacer,

by **MOLLY** » Wed Oct 05, 2005 8:33 pm

so i guess ill need them for both the front and the back?

by **trueno_20v** » Wed Oct 05, 2005 8:37 pm

Umm dont know can you see if its rubbing on both front and back?

by **MOLLY** » Wed Oct 05, 2005 8:43 pm

its just the front calipers sticking out bout 1cm from the disc but the rear doesnt have any...and it still doesnt move...

Jack up each corner indivually & try spinning the wheels so you can see which one's a binding, it will probably just be the two fronts as this is quite common on KE30's. you can fix it put adding spacers, 5mm fixed it on my Bro's. Or you can shave the caliper slightly with the ole' angle grinder

i just comared my calipers to another 36 with superlites and mine seem bigger.....so technically if i get standard ones i wont need spacers...

should only need 5mm spacers on the front, they can be machined up pretty cheap.

by **MOLLY** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 12:45 pm

how cheap?

by **RE20** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 1:04 pm

I can't remember how much mine cost, Think it was about $60 for two, I supplied the PCD and thinkness , Inner Diameter and Outer Diameter and it was programmed in. Im sure most fabrication places would have the equipment for this. The biggest price is in setting up the machine to the specs.

by **scope** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 2:28 pm

mine were $60 also but i didn't think that was cheap

by **trueno_20v** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 3:02 pm

I got mine from repco for $30 8mm, go there

by **MOLLY** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 3:07 pm

that sounds good can u get them any smaller? say 5mm?

by **trueno_20v** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 4:59 pm

Yup i think 8mm is the biggest and the sizes start at 2-3mm i think but remeber the spacer has to be screwed to the disk then you will be sweet
