Hey guys i have an eg5 and recently ive dropped it by 2.25 inches on springs and also added a blox rear camber kit... My guards are rolled but my rear tends to still scrub like crazy..
Any ideas to fix this, some people recommended me doing fender modifications or slimmer tyres
the wheels are 15x8. 0 offset 4x100 on 195 tyres

Adjust more negative camber

What tyre profile you using? you could go with 195/45/15.. Taleb got 'em

Maybe get stiffer springs that won't compress so much?

but his setup stands 15mm more out from what you had.
hes running 0 offset

what size tyres are you running? 195/50/15, or 195/45/15?

I can load up the car with no scrubbing, but mines a da9 so different wheel arches
I can only suggest 195/45 and coilovers so you can stiffen it up

Ahhh that's easy to fix
Get a hacksaw n cut a slit where the rear guard joins, then hit it up with a hamer if that makes sence? Lol
Kinda hard to explain, but easy to do

Lol yeah... Might need some help with that. Spoke to alot of people. They said go with coilovers (stiffer) or go with a more positive offset set of wheels. but i dont wanna waste anymore unnecessary $$ But to the comment above if that fixes the problem itd be great!

You could at least get some stiffer springs for the rear though, right? Some 6kg or 8kg. Will handle better anyway :)
