Stop buying cheap ones. The best ones I've had are the latter mk3.5 ones. They are also KA arms. My car is lowered approx 90mm on the front and approx 100mm on the rear and my arms last for ages. |

What size wheels and tyres are you using? Also what suspension setup? |

my si had this problem, and I went for rose jointed ones with adjustble camber ball joint there ideal for the track but a tad noisey for the road, so im getting a pair of cheap wishbones, have them modified for camber adjustment and getting a set of poweflex bushes to make it more road friendly than the rose jointed ones, I once had a standard set of cheap wishbones and knocked them out the same day as fitting them |

Tyres are one of the things that will be making it scrape because of the larger profile sidewalls. Try either 50 or 45 and you shouldn't have a problem  Also wheel offset can cause a problem too! |
