are you rubbing on the inside of the fender well? does it just feel like the car is sitting on jacks in the fron? or did it actually go lower

is your car lowered a lot? Your upper A arms might be hitting your unibody, if not resting on it completely. If thats the case, you should sell them and get SPC adjustable balljoints. Even though the SPC ones are better, if youre really low theyll still hit the unibody (mine do)

i have never said this...but do a search. There has been covered multiple times this week. Your upper control arm is bottoming out on the inner fender, either raise up your car, notch that piece of get a diff kit.

I had the same problem in my CRX. Turns out the fenderwell was sitting on the a-arm, not allowing the suspension to move AT ALL. I had to cut out part of the inner fenderwell so the a-arm could move.

I also had the camber set at 0. I had it adjusted a little so the car has a little negative camber. This helped alot with the ride quality. The car still bounces a little, but nothing like it did before. Hope this helps.
