Rubbing after lowered...

So I installed H&R coils... and found out rubbing when I make sharp turns. I want to know what other solutions are there besides rolling fender, does that void warranty? My tire specs are 265/30/19, 235/35/19. Rubbing just comes from the front.

What you really should do is level the whole car because your rear is sitting much higher. Then you have a choice of rolling fenders which is about 35 a fender or you can get a smaller tire and you should be fine.

How do you like the ride on H&R coils?

Find out if the rubbing is on the sway bar and report back. I was able to fix this with a 5mm spacer on my 19" 8.5 et 35 m6 reps, but now that I am running the rear fitment up front I am met with the same sway bar rubbing as before.

I am not rubbing my 275's in the front until about 30 degrees before lock but this is also where we do spend some time when maneuvering in tight spaces.

I think that it's far easier to fit aggressive fitment in the front of the i than the xi.
