Lowered the car and now it rubs like crazy. Help Please!!!
Hi guys, i just lowered the my car 2 days ago. I brough it low enough till there was about 2 finger gap left between the tire and the fender. I have stock gsr rims on. However when im driving maybe about 50mph and take a regulard turn, ther front end rubs like crazy. Same thing happens when im drving on the road and if i hit like a little deep V type of thing where the road like goes down and up fast, i kinda bottom out there too and my tires rub like crazy. I have dropzone struts with coilovers and the spring rate is 350 in the back and 450 in front. Should this problem occur or is there something wrong. Cause i see people with slammed teggy's and they dont have any problems. Oh by the way i have a 95 Integra. If you guys know why this is happening please help out. (By the way for some reason this same thing happened when i had stock suspension and took really sharp turn. This never happened when i had my 17's with the low pro tires) Thanks

I dont have a tool to roll the fenders and plus it has nothing to do with the fenders, it doesnt touch the fender, its the littel mud guard under the fender. But even then its not suppose to rub it.

roll the fenders? camber kit? roll the fenders, then slam it all the way?
what the hell kind of advice is this?
obviously, what he's hitting are the splash guards, not the fenders. also, people have lowered that much and more, without a camber kit, and have never rubbed.
i'm not sure what your problem is. the fact that you were rubbing while still stock makes me wonder. has the car ever been in an accident? i would say that maybe the spring rates are too soft, and/or check the install, make sure everything is in right, etc. but, like i said, rubbing while stock..
