no rubbing while turning, going up n down driveway. I pushed in a small part of the fender liner that's bulging out using heatgun. so that solves the problem.

I only have minor rubbing on the freeway when there are big dips, and strangely it happens only when I am running 75+ mph. when I'm running 65mph it doesn't rub.. I know where it rubs on the fender liner but I'm just lazy to push it in with a heatgun..

ya know..there is a saying.. if you don't rub you are not low enough.. but I don't think I'm low but I'm already rubbing!!

btw how's the kumho tires that you have? I have yokohama s-drive in front, but I feel like swapping to ps2 to match my rear..
