i do not get the point here man! where exactly is it rubbing?? can you post a pic for illustration?

also if you rub when the car is loaded then lowereing the car will make it rub even more frequently... right?

If you lower the car the rubbing will happen more often and much easyier

hehe the funnest thing in the world is taking someone for a ride that hasnt seen or been in a car with airbags... then hit the switchs and watch theirs eyes pop out of thier head... most people think we got a flat tire.. i had one friend thought we busted a strut or something.. o'the humanity hehe, soon i will trop it another 3 inchs so the car sits on the frame (blocks.. dont want to hurt the car) then we will see about tire rubbing
