Your surplus springs are old and not as stiff as they used to be. That should be the culprit right there.
Most things that concern ride height usually are the work of springs.

April 8th, 2010 11:08 AM #7Yes.. you are correct. The wheels are a bit off-set. The side of the tires are rubbing against the fender just beside the tire thread. I think if it had been 10mm less wider, should be no problem.
Is there any solution to this?
Help advise din po where to buy good springs.. how much din po?
Im located at Makati.
TIA.

It's all down to the wheel. Your wheels have insufficient offset so they stick out of the fenders. The offset should be stamped or embossed within the interior of the wheel, behind the spokes or hub.
The easiest way of solving this is to change the wheels for something else...with higher offset. Try to look for wheels with +40 offset or higher, those should be pretty common.

IIRC they're with AVID. The reported numbers in the TG article are from CAMPI.
