Tire touching fender liner
I've been searching and reading for hours and saw people having same problem as me.
Anybody able to fix this problem?
I'm using Hotskis spring and when I make sharp turn, tire rubs my fender liner.
Also my rear fender is only 3/4inch away from tire and it rubs when I make sharp turn.
I really like the look of evo after lowering but really hate to hear sounds when I make turn.
Only answer I found was to go back to stock spring or spend hundreds of dollars on coilovers.
I dont do autox or autocross or even goto drag strips so I think coilover is overrate for me. Should I try different brand of springs?

just like what they advice me, get swift springs. i think 1.4 inch drop at front and .8 at rear. they said it's not advisable to really drop the evo. i got the s tech. 2inch front and .9 at rear. i got gram lights optimise 18inch 8.5, 32 offset, 235/40/18, it doesn't rub though but i got a negative camber at my rear.

First, the obvious; Make sure every plastic fastener is still in place. There are two/tree that are tucked far up inside there holding the liner in place.
Second; Consider using a heat gun to reshape the liner. Heat the area for a few seconds and press it into the shape you want with a tool or gloved hand until it cools. Once it's cool, it will hold the new shape.
