Re: fixed my tire rubbing!!! (alt_schule)
wow, thats a lot of cuttin' and bendin' !
did you have to remove the fender liner permanently? what is your setup?
I run 205/50r15 Azenis on Rota Slips and I just bent that metal tab up and against the fender, but I kept the liner in. With a 2" drop, no camber kit, it does not rub anymore.

I sure hope you put some kind of rust protection under there. That sucker is going to rust like hell! Nice job by any means

Do you think that maybe if you bottom out. that the cut metal would hack up your tire? seeing that your car may be that low you had to cut and bend the metal.
Either way it is still a good idea!

Re: fixed my tire rubbing!!! (RR98DX)
i got teins and my car was only dropped 2". i think they where rubbing because of the strut body being shorter than the average strut. it only rubbed on hard turns, never when just driving. oh i put my fender lining back!

Re: fixed my tire rubbing!!! (RR98DX)
I had the same problem
but I know that a higher spring rate will help alot. I think my are really soft. but I think im gonna do something like that too. cause I ruin 2 tires due to hard corner and that ripping them up
