Unhappy quarter panel lip pulls out with new springs

I know this topic was beaten to death but I need the FINAL fix from the forum. After, my tokico's and racing beat spring install, on spirited driving my quarter panel lip pulls out. What was the suspension fix for this again? I know coilovers will fix it so please, Do not say get coilovers ! Is it the spring pearch, bushing,etc? If you found the fix, can you let me know the exact part you got and where? Thanks.

What size wheels and tires are you using?

You might be able to use thicker spring isolators (rubber things the springs sit on, top or bottom) to raise the ride height a bit. Stiffer sway bars will also help limit wheel travel, which could be enough to fix the problem. I think I would try some stiffer sway bars first.
