Default suspension problem?

Well my car is lowered around 2.0" on ksport coilovers. Anyway whenever i make a hard left or right at a good speed I hear something scrape. It almost sounds like my front lip is scraping but I don't think I'm low enough for it to scrape on turns. Any idea of what it could be? I was thinking its my wheels rubbing in my wheel wheals. This problem never happened when I had my steelies on. Please help

Well your steelies were probably not as wide as what you are running now. Remove the front wheels and check for scrape/rub marks in the fender wells (obviously). Also check your fenders, maybe you are rubbing up there.
if your lip is scraping, you'd see scrape marks. That *would* be the first place I'd look.

Its most likely your plastic fender lining rubbing.

Do you have mudflaps? It could be something as simple as those scraping off the ground too.
