So as i'm leaving work yesterday i find out that all of the sudden both rear tires scrub on medium-hard cornering or while drifting. It looks as if i have quite agressive negative camber in the rear now. The only thing that i changed was the tire pressure in the rear... Gonna try to let some pressure out and see if that caused the problem but i'm not sure. I've got the rears at 38psi or so. Whats a good psi for a drift setup?

Maybe its just the other bushings went out too now or something...

its more than likely just the tires rubbing on the bottom of the struts.
im running 275's and i dont have any rub at all

Just wondering why all of the sudden it's rubbing so bad and it wasn't before... It looked like it was rubbing on the inside of the wheel well... Thats why I checked the camber and now it looks kidna bad...

then its probably bushings. or youve done something to one of the toe rods or the traction rods

Yah, thats never good... Are the sr20 trannys known for breaking or are they usually pretty solid?

known for breaking with repeated beatings in high hp cars

SR trannies are the same as ka trannies minus the bellhousing. They are both known to drop 2nd and 3rd gears first.

If you plan on running more than 450 + hp i highly suggest cyrotreating the gears .

I think it's rubbing on the inside of the wheel well. There is a LOT of negative camber on both rear wheels now... I need to take a picture. I should be taking it up to the shop to look at it shortly, was going to today (technically yesterday) but didn't wake up in time.

It has some kyb gr2 shocks and some lowering springs. Dont' remember what brand of springs.

Turns out, the bushings on the rear subframe are completely ripped appart. The rear ones are sitting about 3 inches below where they should be... Dont' think it should have slipped this far down even with the bushing torn to shreads but gotta check...
