Tire rubbing after coilover and spacer install, help advice needed!
Hey guys, so I installed BC Racing Coilovers and 15/25mm (F/R) about a week ago and unfortunately my front passenger tire rubs pretty hard when going over dips in the road, especially at high speeds on the freeway. I guess I could raise the car a little bit but I like the way it sits and need to explore other options. Since it's just the one wheel do you think an alignment could possibly fix the problem? It's either that or shave/roll the fenders but I feel like if it was rubbing on one side it'd rub on the other if it was a ride height problem. Any help/suggestions is appreciated.

IMO...I doubt an alignment is going to make enough of a difference to keep it from rubbing. That being said, if you lower any car more than 1/4" then you should have it aligned. So, go get it aligned and then see what happens.
On the flip side, I'm not a fan of lowering the LS like that so I would say....put it back to stock. However, that is my taste and not yours. It's your car, do what you want but you'll have to accept the consequences that it will either always rub or you'll be rolling the fenders.
