Default little tire/fender help. rubbing barely barely.

So i recent got b2 spacers. 20mmF and 25mmR. Right off the bat i knew that the rear fenders were going to needed to be rolled. I got that done right away and had no problems with tire hitting fender.(this was with sub box out of trunk).

So the front are 98% perfect, as in like only on weird bumps i rub the fender and it a soft rub not hard at all. So today after the Nismo fiesta i decided to mess with my coil overs to get rid of my tire rubbing issue in the front.

So i thought about rising it but i was like hmm that would bring tire out more,no good. So if dropping it pulls the rim in more it most pull tire in more to. So i decide on top of my .5 drop in the front to drop it .2 to bring it just a little more in to clear it on those weird bumps. when i got the both of the coil overs out the passenger side was higher than the driver side..... so i decided to make the passenger side same as driver side on what ever i had to adjust to make it .2 lower. well right off the bat on my inclined drive way when coming in with a little speed ( i come pulling in right on my driver way) the passenger side rubs but so soft that you can't fee it inside the cabin and can only been seen from the outside. so i drove around my neighborhood and found a spot with what i considered a weird bouncy dip thingy. and what ever the side i was on(going up the street or down) the front driver side would rub or the passenger side would... so at this point I'm thinking about just cutting my lose and getting 15mmF and moving the 20mmF to the rear sense i can't even have my subs in with out rubbing


On a positive side my front when looking out the driver seat looks level for ounce :thumb up: and but my back looks unlevel stupid shop i took it to install the coil overs didn't do good at making each side level... i would rather do the rear myself but i don't know how to pull the rear coil overs out sense I'm not sure if they have a nut on top(which would be located inside the rear strut brace)


so hear is my question. what should i do.
1. drop more in front to clear it better
2. cut my loses and get 15mmf
and
anyone can tell me or point me in the direction in rear removal of rear coil over?


P.s i used a piece of wood closes to a 2x4 and on each side of the front i had a tight 1 finger space when on top of the wood. Please don't flame me to hard O, also on the ratio of F/R I'm at 1.06 with out adjusting the rear yet.

If you drop it more , it will not help clearance. As the suspension moves, it gains camber, if you drop the car it will gain the same amount of camber it would normal gain from hitting a bump.

Options.
#1 Smaller spacers
#2 Add camber
#3 Pull the fenders a little more

well it on the outer fender. were someone would do a roll part if you could roll the front fender. i went a head and ordered 15mm spacers for the front. Great thing they are willing tol stock the one i bought from them about 2 weeks ago so all it well.


Update: no they can't because some how i got nicks in them :/ be putting them up on the sell section soon.
