ATR DPs not build for lowered cars

[madhat]

Anyone else noticed this? I put on one of the ATR 3" internal wastegate ones and now it vibrates some and there is even a dent on the bottom of the dp where it hits the a-arm.

You can't expect it to fit perfectly after lowering the car. Bigger parts + less room to fit them = rubbing and vibration.

yup, exactly! my car has new stock Moog springs and my DP has been "clearanced" by the upper A arm.

its just a fact of life.

How are your engine mounts? I had the same problem until I changed over to the HR Parts & Stuff motor mounts. I diddn't even know mine were bad until I noticed the burn mark on the inner fender well from the downpipe. The engine moved up about an inch once I put the new mounts in.

My Mease 3" DP is pretty close right now, but hasn't hit yet. Even though I have stock springs, they must be sagging because the car sits pretty low. What is the stock ride height anyway?

67000 miles and I'm sure the guy before me never changed any bushings, prob not even shocks, just springs. Right a-arm bushings starting to get bad though...man I dont want to do those!
