What's up everybody...
I just got my Eibach Pro Kit installed today, first off I love the new look. Much more aggressive, and the ride is fine for now.(Stock shocks)
But...
I'm real close to the fender well now in the rear, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna rub sooner or later. I understand that rubbing is not good, but is it bad? Can tires be sliced from doing such?
I've read some stuff about fender rolling. Can anyone do this, or should a body shop be called on?
And my last question,
Will replacing the shocks with an adjustable like Tokico or Koni and setting the shock to firm prevent rubbing?
Thanks for the helpful advice.

 

Took it out for a true "Test" drive. Hauled ass around corners. Stepped on both gas and brake hard. And went over bumps.
It seems to only rub on the right side, I think. I'm not sure though. And it sounds like the inside fender instead of the outside lip. But I'm not sure. When I went over a big hump, "stomach flipper," I think both back tires rubbed.
For all those running 18"s and dropped help me out here. Will rolling the fenders help or do I need to do something else?
It's not all the time or even some of the time. It's just hard driving and big dramatic road humps that make me rub. Help me please...

 

damn man, drive around like that and you worried about rub? shiet i been skured of bottoming out! stratchin up the exhaust and pipes - damaging the frame etc... i' dropped 2" +2 upped my rims to 17s.. HAD to roll the fender, but now it's not a problem... but i feel you on those corners big thrill downshifting and pulling out of a corner...

 

my rims are +42 offset. they set just fine. right in line with the fenders and tuck under when driven hard. they don't rub and i've had no problems with my setup (besides that i need shocks...and there's endless weird squeaking...)

from what i know and hearing your case, roll your fenders anyway. you don't want it catching on the tires.

 

Thanks for the help guys. I don't drive like a bastard all the time, I was just testing. I probably roll the fenders in the next week or so. Should I just do the baseball bat technique?
