Turn the shock upside down, that should help out the rub.

The quad shocks are there to prevent wheel hop. If you're not replacing them with something better, you're probably going to have massive wheel hop.

You have a car that makes 480 rwhp and you dont even know the purpose of quad shocks?

lol, I dropped mine a long time ago, haven't had an issue with wheel hop in a few years, time to get back out on the track with the new combo and try it out.
