Default What will fix this?

I have a 93 hatch with Tien Springs, rear disk conversion, kyb struts, GSR fat 5 wheels. After my rear disk conversion when I turn the corners the wheel scrapes horribly, both sides. It's not too bad when it's just me but the other day I went to the mountains and had some people in the back and every corner was bad. I have a rear camber kit should I just bring in the tops alittle or will lower control arms fix my problem?

On my inner fender I can feel the lip it rubs on.

did you do an alignment? You might have a rear camber kit but it's useless w/ out an alignment

Exactly. Camber kits just allow more flexibility with alignments, but are useless without the actual alignment.

What exactly is involved with doing that? How much does it cost?
No I havent done my alignment yet was wondering if I should get the Billet lower control arms then do the alignment? I have heard that you only need a baseball bat to roll the fenders is that true?

Yea you can you use the baseball bat.. But it't kinda ghetto but it works. How I do it is jack up the car and put the baseball bat in the center of the wheel well and lower the jack. then spin the bat around the wheel well. Hope that helps..

You can also heat up the inner fender before rolling it.. They make machines for this also

Heating the fender will help prevent the paint from cracking
