Rexspeed Fenders rubbing noise when driving over dip

[Deleted User 191538]

So I got Rexspeed Fenders installed and now when I hit a bump or dip i hear a large noise that sounds like it rubs the tire for split second.

Based on this it seems like the fenders are definitely the reason but....

I ill also say I just put new tires on too. before I had the Yokahoma apex V601

But now I switched to the Falken Azenis FK510....(Tirs are same spec as the previous)...

Anybody heard this sound before?

Marc, if you aren’t sure whether or not they are rubbing, put some blue tape in the areas that might be rubbing and then recreate the experience by driving over those dips.

Are you lowered?

Yep Lowered.

Been a while but yes the fenders are the issue. I actually added some camber to help with that but I honestly am not a fan of the way it drives with the camber. as it's a bit more than normal and the front feels like it lifts when I drive. So I can either take the fenders off, or take the lowering springs off...I honestly don't want to do neither...

I've considered getting coilovers and having it a bit more stiff in the front so when it hits a bump it doesn't absorb as much, but....This could cause issues with breaking my rim's or something bad happening without absorbing bumps

I've also considered shaving/cutting the fenders a little bit, but it is carbon fiber so not sure if that will be worth it or it can even be done

I honestly wonder if any other supra with the same fenders and lowered has had the same issue.

I have the Rexpeed fenders and same thing. However, I used the camber for the track and that eliminated my problem, I was also too low. You can try to adjust the fitment on the fenders to make them fit better at the mounting points. At the end of the day I'm sure a Dremel will fix the issue.
