Where are the pics???

Mine is rubbing...more so with more passengers. I also heard a terrible rubbing noise going up a driveway. I think something else is rubbing, not just the fenders.

It's just lowered because of the sports pkg. But there's still about an inch and a half gap. I'm thinking of putting coilovers on so that I can stiffen the shocks up a bit cause I think part of the blame is on the stock shocks being relatively soft. I'm hoping with the right adjustment on the coilover and some fender rolling, that it'll solve my problem.

Is it 1/4" higher on the left side or right?

Maybe something is not being seated correctly?
