Default Fender & tires

I'm currently dropped on road magnet. Right rear sits about 1mm lower but the tire is fine. On left rear, which is higher seems to slightly eating away my tire. Could it be that both fenders were rolled unevenly? Both rear tires are slightly tucked.

Here's a pic of my car. My coil should be in this week. Should I drop the front a little more and raise the rear? what you guys think? Some of the pics are quite blurry.

So it's eating your tire in the rear?? Thats really odd, most of us have had the problem of the front tabs eating away the tires when lowered, especially on the left side (drivers side). My rears are pretty stuffed into the fenders (pictured) and they are completely virgin... Never had one rub or problem with them. You have any pictures of the tire wear??

Lower the rear more and it'll naturally camber.

I relocated the fender tab on the front plus my front isn't that low.

Not sure if lowering it some more may be a good option due to road conditions.

I would take pictures but the car is in the shop right now getting my sticky interior replaced

thanks.

here's a picture of my rear after i installed bc coils. The scrape on the tires happened before i installed coils. It's not that bad but should i be concern? I saw some members are way worse.
