Front Fender Rub, help!
 
I just lowerd my car 1.5" with BBK springs.. I have a 225 series tire, but when i try and take a corner fast, or U-turn, my tires rub the top fender edge! I even have both insolators on the springs. I'm looking for suggestions on what to do... thanks

1. Should I put a pipe on the strut shaft so it limits the movement?
2. Should I put in 0.5" steel plates on top of the springs?

I was like WTF! this is sopposed to make my car handle better, how is it sopposed to handle with fender rub.

are you sure its rubbing on the fender and not the a arms. also is it rubbing on the actual fender or is it rubbing on the plastic inner fender? my 89 is lowered 2 inches w/245 55 16's and the only rubbing i have is on the a arm:confused:

looked
 
Damn Im not sure now, I just went out with the flashlight and looked it over. I couldnt find any indication on the outer fenders of rubbing... But yesterday when I was driving in a strait line there was a dip and it made rubbing noise. I did notice that there was some tiny wear on my lower control arms on the backside right next to where the jackstand spots are....Where if i turn real sharp. ?!?! I'm gonna drive it tomarrow and force it!
