What rear shocks are on your car? The shock at full extension determines the droop, so aftermarket shocks that are a bit longer than OEM might allow the suspension to swing lower causing the interference. To be clear, I'm grasping at straws now.
SOMEWHERE on here we had a discussion on oil temps.....not sure where that is so I'll post this here.

To my knowledge, there's basically 3 options out there:
1. The original splitter support, pn: M-17A626-MB.
2. The tubular front bumper/tow hook, pn: M-17757-MB
3. Blowfish/SVE Tow HookAs I'm sure you're aware, the original bracket is basically...
Great News!!!!!!!!!.....I just got back from my annual Medicare wellness checkup And My Doc says I'm doing great!!!!.......Hey that's good news I Will never argue with!!!! My Doc is a couple yrs younger than me so He's watching with a careful eye
Clearancing it smooth with a file would be a much, much better thing than leaving a notch where a crack could start. And, yes, an engineer. But, I would still return it unless the alignment was truly causing the issue. (see full post)
I got the go ahead from Steeda since they are just barely kissing each other. I will see if things get better once it is buttoned up and aligned.
So my next question is this. If things stay the same, would it hurt to take a small half file and...
If I was to run it as it, I'd be far more tempted to leave the material in place and risk it making contact at full droop if anything, but still seems like something is off with the install.

Not sure if MCA has rental helmets or not. Hans is optional but highly recommended if using harnesses. Most hans are not compatible with oem seatbelts. The Simpson hybtid S is but kind of expensive. (see full post)
Here's a couple more noob questions for you. I'm reading thru the MCA event rules document and see that a helmet is required. They don't mention rentals, so I'm guessing they won't have them on hand and I need to purchase one? Note: Please don't... (see full post)
If you haven't purchased yet you might go with the 660+ instead.......easier tire to drive on for someone new as they telegraph much better and will be faster. Sure, they will wear faster but some drivers find the 615s to be rather uncommunicative.
Another S550 build. One lesson leaned, my braided brake lines from the previous GT500 calipers in that the lines are not compatible. Had to replace those for the 550 Brembos.
If you need a new splitter, Kona, I can hook you up with a gentleman that makes them (factory reproductions). They're priced fair IMO, and made with the same material as OEM (1/4" ABS) - one side smooth, one textured. He has both WC and LS.I... (see full post)
Man, I'd love to come down for the ALS fundraiser, but I've got to watch my expenses too so I'll probably be making my maiden voyage on the track in August. (see full post)
