Why do I scrape on only one side?

Why do I scrape on only one side?
So I've been really confused. I didn't used to scrape (that often) making left and right turns but now, I'm constantly scraping. What's weird is the lip is beat up on the driver side but the driver side is fine. I made both the front and rear stiffer. Almost maxed and I still have this problem. Anyone know why? My weight?
It always happens when I'm making that loop to get onto the freeway or to get back into the inside roads.

I hear this noise when I hit bumps. Maybe I'm rubbing or maybe I'm scraping. I can't even tell. I'm so new to the game LOL. Is sounds like it hits something but idk. I touched the bottom of the lip and it's messed up so I'm pretty sure I'm scraping. Its hard to rub on stock rims. I did the fender tab relocation too

I had a similar issue. I am pretty low and I had 235/19s on and they were meaty. What happened was that when I tweaked the coils, one side was very slightly lower than the other side. Many of the times, its hard to make both left and right exactly even since the ground is not even. You need to find a ground thats even and measure the fender to ground several times and tweak the coils accordingly.
Another thing is if you have soft coils like Megan EZs or anything 10k~ up front, I think its easy to scrape. Especially when you are low. Do you have 10k BCs? If you have an aftermarket front lip and you want to go low, I think its important to get something 12-14k. I only have the GFX splitters and I rub a lot on my front bumper.

There's the issue of you adding 150+ pounds when you get into the driver seat. Also your car is probably not corner balanced so even though the height is the same, each corner will probably have different load, leading to annoying scraping.
