Default New ride height

I've been messing with coilovers all weekend. I think i finally found a height that i like, but i cant get it to stop rubbing. Hopefully i can get to stop rubbing soon, so i take it in for an alignment.

I believe so, i got these from nmpeter.

I'm rubbing front and rear.

The front i rolled and slightly pulled, bang the metal peice that meets the fender and bumper, trimmed and heat gunned liner.

The rear i shaved fenders. On the rear i think i'm rubbing the corner where it meets the bumper. Any idea's what to do? I'd hate to raise it.

I'm rubbing in that spot but I'm about 2" lower than you. You can add more camber with the Megan camber arms, but you'd wear your tires out sooner.

I love those wheels! Wheels look really good on your car. I know the wheel specs, but what size tires you runnin? That might be the key.
