Damaged My Fender after Dropping on Coils
Bleh, just noticed this today - looks like part of my fender got bent. I recently dropped on coils (BC Racing) and put on some new rims. Wheel specs are 19x8.5+35 (235/35/19) & 19x9.5 (265/30/19). I think I went too low and had my settings too soft.
Anyone know what the best way to fix this would be? First step is going to be raising the car slightly (*gasp*) and then stiffening the coils. I was thinking of having my fenders rolled and maybe they could fix this bend at the same time, after which I'd get 10mm spacer to become flush. Is this a good plan?
Anyway, here are the pics:
The rear tire for reference:

2. yes stiffening them will help
3. rolling them could be a preventative measure against it happening again
4. that would put you back in the same boat if not a worse one

I feel your pain. I can't see your pictures due to my workplace blocking it, but I'm sure I'm in the same boat. I remember turning my wheel into a steep driveway and it bent the edge of my right front fender down. I had my rear fenders shaved and looking for someone to roll the fronts now. It'll be tough but try to avoid turning the wheel all the way when entering a driveway.

Thanks everyone!
