The problem now is that there is no way the alignment guy can adjust the top nut of my SPC arm because it's so damn close to the top wall.

I won't be able to drive or get the car aligned if i can't figure out a way to drop the A-arm, everything connected, when the car is raised. Otherwise, I can't get the car aligned

if you had done your research prior to clicking "buy" you would have seen that issue, among others, with those a arms. One of the reasons we sell their rear kit and not their front (and not Eibach's front either)

i installed everything and got it rolling.To start off, I scraped the **** out of the joint between Y-pipe and stock HFC. I think i have exhaust leak hahah!!!
Next, I have no no no idea why but i have a circular scraped mark right between the right brake pad and the rotor hub surface. (scraping is on the rotor surface, the shiny one not the rusty one) I never took out the caliper during the installation though -_-- Anyone gimme a hint?
Next, i started rolling slowly and hear loud rubbing sound. It got me scared to roll more than 10 MPH so i pulled over. (This is alll done few hundred feet away from my garage hehe) i still haven't figured out what's causing it. please give me another hint on what's causing this.. I checked the outer side of all the tires but they aren't rubbing. (stock rims, stock tires)
OH BTW, my front tires are tucking nearly half of 45 profile and rear is little bit higher than the front.
