Car is Lowered Pics + PROBLEMS inside!

[Adam95GT]

Alright finished lowering the car today... actually knocked out the entire rear in about an hour... makes me feel goooood... now... if anyone rembers that scrape/grinding noise i was talking about.... yea its worse now... if im at even half throttle or co over a bump while in gear my car makes a scrapeing/grinding noise... and its annoying as hell... i assume that since it got worse when i dropped the car that it must be driveshaft/rear diff related... anyone have this problem....

ANYWAY NOW SOME PICS:

Looks nice. Raise the car securely. And turn it on, see if can get it to make the noise and look for it. Not realy safe but i would do that.

MODS PLEASE GET RID OF THIS!!!! OR MERGE DOUBLE POSTS ARE NOT FUN!

Then it should be something rubbing. How bout if you pick up the back from the differential. That way its still lowered

D/S is rubbing on the e-brak bracket or ebrake cables I would think... pretty common problem.

Looks Good! I had the same prob with my car when I lowered it. Check your motor and trans mounts, mine looked ok but passenger side was bad and when i hit the gas they flexed alot and moved the tailshaft of the trans to one side and made the DS rub. If your mounts are ok take some spray paint and paint a line down the length of your DS, fill the car up with gas and get a few people to ride around with you while your car is fully loaded. Then break out the grinder and knock down what ever left the scratches in the paint. This took care of my rubbing but i only did the paint thing with me in the car, then I filled up with gas and it started rubbing again, fixed that then I had the wife and some crap in the trunk and it started rubbing again, so put all the weight you can in so you only have to climb under once.

I got the car up on a lift today took a look at the ds and found a really pollished looking part... sure enough... the e brake cable had some slack in it and i wore almost completely through it... LOL i beat the **** out of it with a hammer and solved the problem!


thanks for the help guys

Car looks good for having such high miles. I would personally ditch the head light covers. Just me though.

grinding still happens from time to time... guess there isnt much else to do

Make more room... I had to put some brackets with zip scres to hold my cables to the floorboards... Cost like $3 and an hour or so...
