My car is bottoming out at the right front i have a 375RF and 550LF the a-arm is hitting the shock its rolling so much, even the cross member that the rack is bolted to is digging in.I have ohlins shocks and ive ran the compression up almost as tight as it will go.Balast is mounted low in the middle of the car except i have some over the left rear @30lbs. Any suggestions?

If I remember correctly you have the 2002 front end!

What is the RF upper control arm length? Do you have the adjustable upper arms from GRT (billet squarish cross-shaft) or a STD bolt on arm with a regular cross shaft?

Also how far is the RF shock mount outside the upper 1.5" rail? I think the Std ones on that front end may have been moved out (memory bad). Anyway if it is and you have a std upper arm (which is likely too short) and integra IDA or other bulb type shock you will crash the upper into the shock.

The cars built before 2007/2008 werent built to travel as much.

You should talk to GRT about updating your front end.

You wi[[ probably have to re-locate crossmember and/or notch right lower frame rail.

Dont worry, its pretty common just be sure to re-enforce it with 1/4" flat bar.
