Tire Scrapping the wheel wells..now what?
ever since I got the new coil-over system installed on my car, I have rolled my fender wells. But there is always a scrapping sound coming out of right, rear wheel well (whenever there is a bump)? I can't figure out what it is, since it's doing it only on the right side not both sides.
I have 18x8 wheels and the car is lowered about 2.5-3.0 inches in the back. I have tried to stiffen up the rear shocks, but no helps there. What's else could be causing this?
Thanks for any help!

It isnt the fender. If you look at where the bumper and fender meet, there is a picec of metal the sticks right out.. and that is what it rubs against

The shocks and struts are shortened to match the springs and lower ride, unlike the AGX and whatever springs you are going to use......if you lower the car more than 2 inches on your AGX, it will not only out of warranty, but you will also destroy the shocks very quickly.
Anyway, just some info to share!
omg!!!

Hehe, it's totally different man. The coil-over looks and perform exactly the same as Top of Line JIC coil-over system besides the camber adjustability and the brand name. In case I forgot to tell you, the coil-over company A&Z actually manufactures suspension parts for Nismo and Tokico Japan market....
