Default EM1 H&R Sport Springs Issue

I have a 2000 Si that now has Koni AGX shocks & struts and H&R Sport springs on them. After everything has finally settled I am really worried that either I have gotten the wrong springs or something is not quite right with the set up. The car is sitting much lower than I expected it to and I am rubbing fender when making slow turns. The current wheels and tires are 205/40/16 tires on 16" Konig helium rims. When i had my skunk2 coilovers i never had this issue and the car was lowered more than this. Has anyone had any trouble with this combination? This is the car with the coilovers and with the new shocks/springs. I will get a better side profile when i get off of work.

What springs rates did you get? Too soft and you'll get the problems you're describing.

not 100% on the rates but I will look it up. I ordered them through Tirerack and just got the H&R sports specifically for the SI. Just quick google search leads me to believe that these are the rates H&R Sport 330F/280R (P/P)

Probably not. You might want to verify those rates.
