suspension, wtf!?
 

About 12,000 miles ago, when I first got my Integra, I switched out the stock suspension for some new Tokico shocks and springs (non-adjustable, 1.25 - 1.5" drop). In terms of mileage for these things, my set is actually fairly new. Plus the fact that I don't do crazy driving to stress out the suspension. These springs barely gives a drop, and feels almost stock so my back won't have to pay the price, which was exactly what I was striving for.

On sunday, I hauled my friends and myself back to Davis from SF. Those two together was about 300 pounds. The luggage in the trunk added up to be another 60-70 pounds or so. In the front was my GF and I, about another 300 pounds). The whole way up, the rear tires kept scratching the under side of the chassis. I just checked it, and the thread-like covering has been scratched away on both sides, and I can see the metal frame (talking about the body, not the tires).

Right before all that shit happened, a new Skunk2 camber kit was installed and my wheels were aligned. My questions are, what kind of damage would this problem cause? Would this mis-align the wheels again? Do I need new rear springs. These springs came with a very little drop, and I never abused them, even on bumps and holes I go slower to ease the impact. And no, I never let other ppl drive it. Tokico is known to make quality suspension for the everyday driver. What exactly is the problem?

EDIT: and I've hauled around even more weight a couple of times before this, and it never happened.

Update: I just drove it for the first time since the incident. Now every time the rear suspension goes over a bump or any sort of uneven roads, it makes "ett, etttt" noises. Help? Anyone?

shocks are shot. my friends' tokicos blew out in his integra 1.5 yrs of owning.

tokico is not a good brand for shocks. ask pat
