Question Bad Rub After Eibach Install

I took my SE for a test drive after installing eibach springs and tokicos. I went a half block before i heard the tires rubbing. Both front tires are rubbing against the springs. Has anyone come across this? Please help!

you may want to have the front end aligned to correct that and tire/wheel dealers sell a 'spacer' from 3/16's-up in size. there cheap to buy and correct the tire rubbing the spring(s) also.
