You can solve this problem by, adding a extra spacer on each side of the rack and pinion in the boots. I havent done mine yet. But it should make the steering not turn as far, thus not rubbing the arms.

No mine's not lowered. It does have aftermarket springs, shocks, struts. But its still the stock ride height. That's why i'm so baffled, i thought i'd only need to be concerned if it was lowered but since it's not i just figured i wouldn't have any probs. Oh, well at least i learned something useful for the future.
