Tire Shredding

Hey guys, my vert is having some problems with chewing up the pass. side rear tire. The car is lowered, looks to be about 2 inches and i'm not sure what type of springs were put in because I bought it that way. Their purple if that identifies a brand at all lol

I know that I need to roll the lips but its much worse on the pass side. The car hits the bumpstops quite a bit too. Not sure what the best route would be to maybe stiffen it up without raising it back up since I like the stance.
My Z never had this problem so I'm a little confused

Thanks guys!

Re: Tire Shredding

Do you have a adjustable panhard bar? This will center the rearend. A must for lowered cars. You can also trim the bumpstop for more clearance.

Re: Tire Shredding

Replace the rear shocks with something good (like Koni for example). If that dosn't fix the problem then you might need to replace the rear springs as the rate may be too soft for the ride height (allowing too much suspension travel). But I think its more likely the rear shocks are worn allowing too much suspension travel.
