Default right tire rubs on fender well over...

ok so my right tire rubs on fender well over bumps that cause my car to dip a bit. my left doesn't.

Tein Basic Coilovers - 30k miles atleast?...

is it possible that my suspension is done and I need it overhauled or buy a new one?

if the tire rubs over the fender, its not your suspension. you need your fenders rolled. what size rim and tire are you on and how low are you?

let me try give more data then.

drop: as low as you can drop it.
rear fenders: rolled but not where rubbing is
front right fender: no rolling but is where rubbing is.
rim: 205/50/16
tire pressure: 35psi
camber/toe/caster: correct, had it aligned few days ago.

Here's an old picture of my rims:

you guys mean ROLL? i dont think he would need to ROLL the front fenders unless he see's marks on his tires from it rubbing. but even then, you SHOULDNT be rubbing with correct camber up front
