raise it up(if you have coil-overs) or stop carrying a heavy load.

have you done anything to the suspension?

what do you mean by "scraping"
I usually think of the bottom of the car hitting the ground with a term like that

what size wheels/tires do you have,
and(very important) what offset?

i got si rims. its like the wheel is touching inside of the wheel well. i got kyb shocks installed. but i could have 3 people in the back and itll only scrape when i turn right. and itll keep scraping till the car is straight again. also when i hit pot holes, my car doesnt bounce around a lot but the wheel still scrapes. then i just smell burnt rubber what else could it be? could it be a bad spring?

might be b/c of the si rims themselves, i only say this b/c on my 96 coupe i have si's and when i make full right or left turns its rubs or when i hit a big hole you hear it rub (but my car is dropped) in your case i guess its because of the normal bounce the shock.

All it is, is you riding with three people in the back and the Si Wheels rubbing. So,

in other wheels don't ride with that many people. My rule is only 3 people in my

car... 2.25" and scraping (stock shocks). And also, I might be wrong!
