I've heard of this issue, but it's odd, I don't have that problem.

I didn't have that problem at all. Mine was a totally simple install.

It seems to be dependent on the car. I've seen reports both ways (rub and no rub). I can tell you that *mine* rubbed. There's a nice wear pattern on the lower mount receiver on both sides (unfortunately you can't really see it in the pic). I ended up placing large washers between the shock eye and the control arm, which has spaced them out just enough to not rub.

Me neither. Completely bolt on and fit perfect.

I had to run a washer as a spacer to avoid rubbing on mine.
