Looks sick! There are only a couple of modified Fs that I like so far, and this is definitely one of them!

Default Rubbing issues

I installed JIC coilovers that was set at 2.5" drop and shaved the rear fenders to keep the tires from rubbing. Test drove with 2 big guys in the back seat and it barely rubs on dips and speed bumps. I took the car around corners on high speed turns and it rubs every single time. When I only had front passengers, no rubbing was heard.
I just got the BC coilovers and 20" Advan RS-D matte black with 245/30/20 front tires n 275/35/20 rear tires..front seams to rub when wheel is turned about 3/4 of the way in either direction...only rubber on inner plastic slightly...any suggestions? Also rear seems to be able to be rolled with a fender roller... Will this prevent it from rubbing? I know I can stiffen coilovers up...I just put the heels on today and was backing out of driveway when I turned the wheel and heard the dreaded rubbing sound!! Any suggestions??? Looking for advice....

Lol this thread is more than 3 yrs old. To answer your question you need to see what's exactly rubbing. Roll your fenders, use a heat gun and push in the fender liners. If you still rub then you gotta do more extensive fender work or raise the car up a bit. You wouldnt wanna rip off your fender/bumper on a dip would you?
