Gash on inside means you are touching something when moving/turning.

You over all are closer to suspension components with your specs v. OEM. And wider to the point of hitting your fenders.

 

I run the Swift Spec-R and I'm very happy with them. Putting them through their first event March 13th so i will see how I like them goign all out. Just enough drop to get rid of the god awful wheel gap,handle much better than stock but not the ridiculous slammed look and riding on the bump stops.

At this point since you are going to have to take the suspension out again to fix your issue you might be better off selling the set up and spending a few bucks more and getting coils.

 

I'd suggest the logical path to deciding what to do is to find the problem first and then decide what to do. Seems like if you jack the car and pull the wheel you outa see where it is rubbing, especially if driving in winter weather. Where it is rubbing will be the clean or black marked spot.

 

^This. while everyones opinions are highly regarded on this forum , there's no sense in randomly changing out your springs without finding what the actual cause is. You could change to another set of springs and still have the same problem.

Like smike said, a gash is caused when you are turning or moving. jack that bish up and see whats going on

On another note, yes the tein s-tech are detrimental to the life of your dampers

 

Thanks for all the help guys. I'll take the wheel off soon and see if I can find out what's going on.

 

First jack up the rear driver side to unload the suspension and lookfor contact point's'. If none, remove the jack and move it over to the passenger and jack the car up to see if you may be contacting with the suspension under load.

 

You have to find where it rubs. I promise you "rolling the fenders" won't possibly help the inside of your tire.

 

I was thinking the same thing.
