Just put my fk coilovers on today and took it out for a test drive and all i could hear was the rubber of my tyres screeching and badly scraping on the road

Any clues on what the problem is?

Been told that it may be my camber being out of alignment badly?

cheers

Yeah, you'll need the camber and tracking doing, mine was the same! Take it to a proper garage, not a tyre and exhaust place, they never seem to understand that the camber needs setting lol

they aint camber adjusted, just tracking..

if you higher or lower your car in anyway it will knock the tracking out, so get it done asap dude or you will need new tyres..

It will be the camber. Had the same problem on mine. You adjust the camber using the elongated hole.

ok cheers mate, also i think i'll need spacers as i've lowered it and the tyre rubs against the spring, will that be down to the camber being out?

Could be. But I had to put 5mm spacers on mine so you may need them.
