Default tire rubbing fenderwell after puting suspension on

i just put kyb agx's and h&r race springs on my car. when i take turn alittle bit harder then i would normally take a turn i can feel and here something rubbing the tire. i took my wheels of in the front and looked in the fenderwell and you can see like three different places where the tire has been hitting, not on the fender but in the fenderwell. what can i do about this to get it to stop, i really want to push my car and see how good it can handle but everytime i do it i feel like im damaging something. i talked to on of my freinds he has an rsx with tein ss and he used to rub, he said for me to get and alignment and it should stop atleast it stopped for him.

dunno. arnt agx's adjustable ride height?

my set-up only has a problem with 3 passengers...dropped 2inches, rota c8's 205/50/16. No tire rub.

in my experience, droppoing a car as low as can be, doesnt give the best results. To get your car to handle flat, you gotta get larger swaybars. Best bang for the buck suspension wise, strut tower bars help a little bit less.

the key is to have ample suspension travel and minor body roll.

the agx's don't adjust the ride height it just adjust the stiffness my front fender is right at the top of the tire and the back has 1 finger gap

bummer. anyone else feel free to fill in. Heres what it comes down to.

Buy low pro tires. downside, you will feel every crack in the road. Upside, no tire rub.
or
Roll out your fenders. downside, rolled out fender look, must repaint fenders, labor $.(my fenders cost 3 bills to paint honda code) upside, can run a wider selection of rim offset, wider rims. No tire rub.
or
Buy adjustable coilovers. my pic.

Hmmm dont know why you are rubbing... you could go with a 50 series tire instead of a 55 that may help out
