    scrubbing suggestions

    Hey guys iv fitted bora sport 17" wheels on my car a while back and the rears love to scrub on heavy bumps ,turning, and especially if someone is sitting in the back.I am currently using an eibach spring kit and im happy with the way the car is sitting. My question to you guys is what options are available to eliminate the scrubbing??? the scrubbing is actually in the wheel well not on the guards so rolling guards wont do anything as iv already discovered. any help would be much appreciated.

    Cheers
    Dom

    Smaller tyres? Stiffer springs? Unfortunately there's really not much you could do if it's hitting the top of the wheel well. Do you know exactly where it rubs?
