Default squeaking and turning radius after new suspension

after i installed my buddy club racing spec damper's on my ej8, sometimes when im either making a slow right turn or going up a ramp or sidewalk, i get a loud squeak and it feels and sounds like somethings rubbing...sometimes the sound is almost like a loud grinding sound...it gets pretty bad if im trying to make a u-turn too...the cars lowered a little over 2" from stock height with the damper setting right in the middle...any ideas what this could be? should i raise the car a little and see if im getting the same problems? i cant see any part where it would be rubbing

sounds like you're rubbing the tires on the fender, or fender liner.

probably fender, no liner...i used to have the car lowered 2" for 4 years with no problems, now i put the new system on, and im having these issues...i also have the buddy club upper pillow mount kit...could it be a problem in there? might just be loose bolt or install error yeah?
