Default rubbing and more

Ok, I talked to my bud and we're going to remove the transverse shock(?) which is the sideways shock he says is meant for twisties and adjust the pinion angle on the upper control arms. Do you think this will stop all of the rubbing?

What is rubbing, the kick shock on the rubber?>

I have heard of this problem, but with DD 315s I am not having issues.

The kicker shock just helps with wheelhop with the stock control arms. If you get aftermarket control arms and eliminate the wheelhop you should be able to remove them with no ill effects. Its should not effect handling.

LOL, They are called QUAD shocks, I have mine removed because I have Lakewood Traction bars and they are absolutely pointless with them!

Pinion angle won't help with you rubbing on anything but merely change your angle, which you shouldn't have to do with street tires up to 1.5" lowered! They are more for raised cars with gummies on!

I have read on other forums that if you have rubbing issues with the quad shocks you can swap them from one side to the other and that takes care of it as the fat end is lower then.
