Default Advice On A Problem With My S

Ok all I have 18" wheels and comptech springs and the body piece above the wheel well has seperated from the wheel well liner right at the tip top of the wheel well. I believe I need to get my fender rolled. Am I correct or is there something else that I need to do? Will any body shop be able to roll them for me? Should I get all 4 wells rolled or just the fronts? The left (drivers) side looks ok now.

I guess your offsets are like mine. I have the same problem. My tires will rub on all 4 fenders if I hit bumps. Mainly in the rear, but fronts will to on larger bumps or dips. I had my rears rolled. Not much help. The fronts can not be done from what I heard. I tried more negative camber and they still rub.
I just got the Buddy Clubs to tighten the suspension. Just had them installed so the hieght isnt where I want it yet but I have them really tight. No rubbing yet and the suspension defintily does not travel as much as before. Ill see what happens when I lower it down another inch tomorrow.

I've done some checking and the front fenders can be rolled (I've seen other posts where members said they've done it) so I'm going to hit up a body shop in the area and see who will do it for me.

well not looking good - the springs were uneven for one which I have now corrected, but the fender will need to be repaired. No one here in town knows how to roll the fenders...closest I got was $800 for shaved fenders

I rented a rolling tool from some place in Texas. I did the rears my self. The fronts I didnt use the tool for I kinda just took the clips out and bent the taps in. Than tucked the lining over it.
Check out the NY Metro local forum some guy does them up there he can answer all your questions.

Just adjusted my Buddy Clubs and they are very tight. No way the tires are going to rub again.

I adjusted the springs up today and the rubbing is now very rare (big big bump) so I just have to fix the stupid fender now...
