What made you decide to get aftermarket liner? After reviewing the ebay item this wouldn't really scream out to me 'for low clearance cars'.
Thanks [/QUOTE]
cause original fender was mess up and hard to do heat treatment (not mention about that some area going back to original shape). I tested with after market liner, it's all good and give me a lot of clearance.

definitely do the heat gun for sure, and I hope you've BEEN riding around on these coils for at least 1,000 miles before you "slammed" em... not good for the coils to be dumped right away without being broken in just for future reference.. few more inches and you'll be in the slammed category! lol looks good though man
I'm in San Antonio, I appreciate the offer but I think my brother and I got it fixed last night with a little help from a heat gun and driving in circles in a parking lot for a bit. After rubbing the same spot after a while it seemed to work itself out.
Heres a pic of my car completely dumped from the rear and a pic of my brothers stupid low 350z on Stance Coils, you've probably seen this car if you live in San Antonio.

I know the unpopular solution is to go up a little. It'll solve alot of your problems including future problems of scraping your front lip getting in and out of shopping centers n such.

So for everybody rolling low, How necessary is a camber kit? I've also seen Megan Toe kits, should I get one over the other? Or both at the same time? Alot of CL use the Megan EZ equipment for the rear, how about the front? Is it necessary for the front?
Also regarding spacers, how big of a spacer should I get to make my stock rear wheels sit flush with my fenders? Is this even a good idea? I don't rub at all in the rear so If modifying it with spacers would cause me to rub I'd rather just keep that dumped look for the rear.
I also noticed if I go any lower I might hit the bolt that connects the front bumper to the fenders, would i need to eliminate this and get a quick bumper release setup? If so, how easy are these to install?
Thanks.

I've considered cutting up the liner like somebody mentioned. I'm getting an alignment today, hopefully that'll fix some of it.

All, I attempted to get an alignment and they mentioned that i need to get a camber kit for the rear since the OEM setup does not allow a correct alignment for the rear. I found these on ebay and wasn't sure if I needed both or just one or the other. Please fill me in.

In addition, I've started to notice my FRONT driver side tire being eaten up by something, I'm guess its the metal tabs that hold the bumper and fender together
Is this something I'm going to need to adjust asap so my tires don't get messed up? The passenger side looks fine but I assume it's because nobody is every in the passenger seat. I've searched numerous threads and found a bit of information regarding relocation/shaving/deleting and replacing the bumper tabs with a quick release. I'm not really even that low and I'm running stock rims with stock tires, how could this be so difficult? On an even crappier note, I still am rubbing like a mad man and I'm almost tempted to just remove the liner all together but now I'm having to deal with this issue.
I appreciate any advice and help I receive.
