Reply to "New Owner 550 Spyder - Front Tire Rubbing"

It's not the steering stops, guys. Yes, Spyders have them, it's a standard beam, just welded-in instead of bolted.

I have a Vintage, which is what a Seduction is.

Three things to fix this. Two are easy.

First, raise the ride height slightly(or lose weight!).

Secondly, get some aftermarket camber adjusters and have an alignment done. I run 1.5 degrees negative camber, not zero or -0.5 degrees as most do. Then adjust toe-in to about 1/16th or an 1/8th inch toe-IN. There are aftermarket adjusters that give you a wider range of adjustment than stock.

The third thing is to get a custom made front anti-sway bar. I made my own, I'm sorry commercially available bars don't fit the Spyder.

My car rubbed on the outside of the RF as your does at Lime Rock Park when I had a 275 pound instructor in the passenger seat. I'm 220 so a good amount of weight was lowering the car. Solo or with my 110 pound wife it NEVER rubs.
