Default just installed stance gr+

Hi everyone! I just installed stance GR+ true style coilovers. i set the ride height to exactly where it used to be at with my eibach sportline springs and now my car is rubbing in the front. im running 18x9.5 +15 offset in the front with a 255/40/18 tire. its rubbing right on the inner fender where its really close to the edge of the fender. now im wondering why its doing it now and it didnt do it before when i had the eibachs on. i need help please! i have spc front and rear camber kits. fronts are both positively maxed out btw. thanks!

Did the spring rate change? That might have made the car slightly lower in the front. Coilovers just take a bit more tweaking. Don't know if that's the case or not, but if they were set at the same height it might be. Might just need to come up a hair.

YOu probably set the damper length up with more up travel ythan you hade before.

Remove some preload, then add lenght to the shock body.

so more preload will cause it to have more travel? i thought more preload would result in less travel and stiffer ride. i have my springs all preloaded to the point where i can barely rotate them with my hand agaist the perches.

Yes , and longer shock body will change the amount of uptravel before it hits the snubber.
