Hey guys,
I dropped my car yesterday and now I need some help. The car doesn't take bumps very well at all. But I expected it. I hear some rubbing in the back and assume I'm gonna need my fenders rolled. Is this a common thing to do with a drop? My front doesn't rub, however I hear a strectching sound with the steering wheel. I did the work myself and I didn't see any rubber whatsoever. I'm wondering if the old topcap and bottom mount of the spring have to adjust to the new spring? Again is this common? My stats for suspension are below.

Front:
Stock strut assembly (105k miles)
KYB strut insert
TEIN S-Spring 1.5" Dropped spring
19" x 8.5 rims on 225/35/19

Back:
KYB strut assembly
TEIN S-Spring 1" Dropped spring
19" x 8.5 rims on 245/35/19

Now aside from that - the car looks B-E-A-UTIFUL. The rear is soooo wide on 245 tires and dropped. Pictures below. My car is very dirty and I just took them so its night time.

I'm not rubbing - at any speed. Not in the front anyway. With the problems being fixed this week, I except no problems with suspension anywhere.

And your logic is off. Your front wheels move more at a stand still than they ever will while moving. The only way moving will cause rubbing is bodyroll and pressure of the front of the car while stopping. You guys have to realize that I'm not doing autocross. Its a street car that at most will speed a little. No air jumps, no fast cornering.. just a street car. Koni Yellows - last time i'll say this - is a waste of money unless the driver entends the car to be more than street driving.
