To reduce the rubbing, you can raise the car up a little or roll your fenders.
Yeah, I know that if they compress they will lower the car and all I have to do is raise it up. That is simple... I have raised the car to avoid the rubbing but I don't want to raise it anymore then I already have otherwsie it will look stock which was the whole thing I tried getting away from. Also what do you mean by roll my fenders?

I just want to get it to where my ride is still yet comfortable. I was hoping that getting good shocks and coilovers my ride would be stiff and if I would go over bumps, my car would hold its height and wouldn't compress the springs and make me bottom out/scrape the wheel wells. I don't know...maybe I am doing something wrong. This is really starting to get annoying
