Hey guys i need some help. Lowered my fronts another 2cm. Funny thing is the measurement from the front coilovers are exactly the same from the top to the knuckle. But when its on the ground my driver side sits lower, this was measured on a flat road. I cant understand why!
And from lowering in another inch in the fronts. IT RUBS EVERYWHERE I GO NOW. the offset for the fronts is sitting flush with the fender. Not sure where its rubbing cause the edge of the fender paint isnt chipping so its rubbing somewhere else. Oh let me rephrase it isnt rubbing but chirping and making contact with the tyre with a point on the fender or the black pastic covering inside the fender while making turns at 40km/h speeds. What can i do to solve this, roll my fenders? I like how my car sits. But i cant stand it, and will have to raise it back up a little tomorrow...

Roll your fenders or cut out the offending section of the lining, although I'm sure the latter suggestion isn't the best way to go.

You can raise the car back up a 1/4 inch, probably the easiest thing.
I rolled and pulled my fenders. Then hacked the liner plastic up so the only part left covers the engine side. I hacked up the rear liner as well for my fitment. -------------------- |

Okay raised the front back 1cm and sounds fine, but in the process lowered the rears another 1cm. And thats not okay. Its rubbing against the fender line. Need to get the rears rolled asap. Sounds like hell when im taking a turn and i hear ARCCCCKKKKKKKKK.

I never considered this, but mayyyybe I'm rubbing as well. I hear the same kind of noise. I highly doubt it though, my wheels are sucked in as hell and I'm barely dropped. Rico, I'd say raise the rears again for now.

Your car is definitely not too low. No car is ever too low!
