Damn man im sorry to hear that.. That sucks i never realized there was any issues with rubbing at all. For the most part i hadnt heard any complaints about the uas bags.. Thats some good info to know though.. Hopefully uas finds a fix to it.. Is it possible its the struts you are using? I dunno how it would but if not that many other people are having that issue maybe its how it sits on the strut which makes it closer to the arms.. *shrugs*
Ya, thats pretty much whats being discussed with UAS right now. The possibility of inserting more plates to raise the position of the bag enough to avoid any rubbing. It sounds like it could be a solid solution. I just hope it works

That doesn't work. I added another plate and got the same problem, plus you lose lift and it doesn't drop as low. The problem is that when the bag is deflated, it folds on top of itself and becomes fatter. When you deflate it all the way, it will rub a little, but if you drive slammed, it's gonna wear a lot faster. I'm going to add RCAs in the front and rear to try to fix it. So since RCAs drop the car lower, the lowest drop should be an inch lower, and at ride height there will be more air in the bag so it shouldn't rub the arm.

yes.. when i drive the car low it rubbed the bag away pretty fast but ever since i found out i drive with the car pretty high up and i haven't had any problems with rubbing. i also added some grease on the arm that rubs so hopefully let it rub less when i deflate when i park.
so yeah. uas wont really do much for the situation.
driving low + UAS =
