Another rubbing problem
Please see my sig. With this suspension and tire set-up I get rubbing when I go into a right uphill sloping off-ramp from the freeway going about 50-60mph. I haven't done enough of left uphill sloping turns to notice the same thing. I also get get rubbing when I "crawl" over a dip. It seems to only happen on the left front of the car in both instances. Now I know if I go into turns more slowly, I don't get the rub, but with the dips it is constant regardless of the angle I approach the dip. The springs are set at the medium perch (I think), and the koni's are set to the firmest setting. I would think I would be able to go into these type turns at a faster rate of speed, but maybe I can't. Suggestions are always appreciated. Any other adjustments to consider or changes?

*your tires are taller in diameter than stock
*you should always use the highest perch setting with the Konis up front
*lowering the car with springs = reduced suspension travel = rubbing on dips and hard bumps
*your spring seats could be worn out
*your wheel offsets may not be ideal
