Front fender lips are being pushed outward
I recently put on my TEIN Type HA coilovers. I didn't have time to adjust the height and I had it at all the way low when i assembled the shock. So i have been riding around with it dropped as low as it can go (bad idea on my part!!) and now i noticed the tops of my front fenders (around the top of the wheel) is starting to be pushed outward so that the metal is no longer tucked in. Would the 15th anniversary "widebody" fenders replace the stockers or am i gonna have to get some body work done? I'm looking for the easiest way to go here...so what do u guys think? mazdaspeed 15th anniversary fenders gonna do the trick? (keep in mind i dont care if u like them or not, just wondering if they will fix my problem because i like them personally) Thanks guys.

I have adjustable coilovers, so i dont need to roll the fenders. I will be raising my car today so i dont rub anymore. Im putting on the Cwest front and repaiting my whole car very soon. My question is, will the mazdaspeed 15th anniversary widerbody fenders replace my old fenders? If they will solve my problem, then im gonna get them, if not, then what else can i do? Thank you.

Much like rolling a fender.
I just have to throw a little touch up paint on some of the spots.
Check your tires as well, the fender could have taken some of your tire off.
Remember the lower you go the harder to set the shocks!!!

Well tonight i fixed my fenders by heating them up with the low setting on my heat gun and then just wrapped a breaker bar in a towel and rolled it back under =)
Also i did the 99 spec tailight conversion too. It was sooooooo easy, and looks awesome! BTW: TEIN Type HA coilovers are by far the best mod i have done so far! I should have gotten these from day one. Right now I am running 6 clicks from full hard in the rear and 8 clicks from full hard in front. =) i live for this!
