k so right now i got ground control coilovers on my kyb nitrogen shocks and my tires are barley in the wells ...... my coilovers in the front have a good 3 inches lower AT LEAST they can go but then they are all the way down i cant turn my wheels cause the hit the fenders. what do i need to fix this problem? camber kit? idk let me know i want it lower !
as for the back< it can go about a 3.5 inches lower but the C/O ring the spring sits on is sittin on the part of the shock the coil is supposed to go in. my plan is to cut almost all that mount off the shock and leave just enough room for the c/o sleeve to rest on the shock. if dont understand my emplanation let me know ill take pics.
thanks guys

If u pull ur fenders in the front it def will not rub anymore..... go to a shop and have them do it the right way... cus if u do it urself u might have more pull on one side then the other.... and btw delete ur fender wells it will help.........

all my plastic inner fenders are gone and they still rub. the only problem with the fender pulling is that no where around me does that....the nearest i could find was L.A. (4hour drive) or sacramento (4 hour drive).
i will probably be sac sooner than la as my mom lives there. does it look weird with them pulled? any got pics?

It'll let the top of your tires tuck in more so that rubbing won't occur til you're much lower than usual

so if i got a camber arm and and sucked in my tires like so /-\ would that let my tires turn farther before the sidewalls hit the insides of the fender? idk i just see all these cars that are 1" off the ground and dailyu drivers but mine gets that low and i cant steer??

haha i hear ya on the tiens lol. but i guess i should rephrase my question...how do i get my tire to stop hittin the fender well when it is slammed
like i said i got ground controls and they have the capability of puttin my car like a inch off the ground ( i know i have done it) the problem is the tire rubs the fender so i cannot turn hence i cannot drive it
