Default Rear Troubles

Been having issues with the right rear tire rubbing on hard left turns and pot holes for a while. Finally got around to replacing the springs, shocks and mounts but it didn't fix the problem (made it worse sine the eibachs dropped it an inch). Just had the damn thing aligned and still didn't fix it. I've been under the car and can't find anything wrong. This is really driving me nuts. If anybody has any suggestions on possible causes I would appreciate it. I'll be at Sonic's around 10-1030 tomorrow, also. Thanks.

Turns out the frame is tweaked. The guys at Sonic told me to buy coil overs, a week after installing this suspension. That kinda pissed me off, but oh well. Thanks anyway.

i didnt tell you to buy coilovers. and you have to understand that if you run +30 something or +20something offset rims will rub.

LOL running 20s offset and mad your car rubs? I have some stock wheels if you need them, but they are yellow. Get your frame fixed, might be expensive but that way at least you are a) fixing the problem b) not working your way aroung it by just using coilovers as a fix.
