Car lowered...now left front rubs
I had some H&R springs and Bilstein shocks installed on Friday. Now, the left front is just a tab lower than the right. I have rubbing issue with the inner fender. Whenever I slow down on a slightly bumpy road, make a right hand turn, etc, the left front tire rubs the inside fender (plastic). But, the right front never rubs at all (except in some extreme situations).
I have some pics below. I'd say the Left front is a couple of mm lower than the right. It also seems the left tire is sticking out a bit farther than the right. BTW, I had an alignment done already.

How can I remedy this situation? I don't want to remove the inner fender plastic....nor do I want to tuck&roll the fender(s).
Any ideas?!

Look at the pics and read this:
Basically remove the tabs that hold the plastic inner fender to the body and tuck the liner behind the fender tab and push it up using a heat gu to soften and re-for the plastic. Then just bend the metal tab of the fender upwards and you should clear.
Obviously not a bolt on mod, but there's no other way around this.
