Well on my lancer i had the same problem. I got it low enough to where when i get in one the driver side it dropped it down JUST enough more to rub when i turned right.

First make sure its ONLY the fender liner and not anything important. The area that the tire is rubbing will look clean and bright compared to the rest of the liner. ( unless you clean it on a regular basis )

My solution was to let the tire just rub through till it stopped rubbing haha because i don't like the idea of getting rid of all the the fender liner because it keeps stuff clean. My suggestion is to let it rub through. Hope this all made sense i just woke up.

BTW man looks good!

Dont just let it rub through. Once it rubs through it will just move on to rubbing through the wire harness that is right behind it. pull it off, relocate the harness, then replace. That way when it does rub through, that's the only thing it will be rubbing through.

I like them alot. The initial feel was very awesome turn in and the ride comfort is good. I dont have the nice wheels yet so the stock tires makes the ride more comfortable also.

I like the ride alot. Its stiff but not irritating at all. Definately feels real tight on corners and very stable during braking
