It is rubbing on the driverside rear inner finder lip. I figured u would think its the back since i said i had to add air the the passenger side bag.

i knew exactly where you were rubbing... the problem is that you, being the new guy around here, like all new guys, did not give enough information.

It is not uncommon for foxes to sit low on the drivers side. What kind of wheels are you running, what size wheels, what size tires?

the more information you give, the less posts like THIS, you will see

take a base ball bat and a hair dryer outside

take the hair dryer to heat up the paint(to try to keep from breaking it)

then take the base ball bat and stick it in the fenderwell and roll the car forward to make more room for the tires to fit

Adder if you were as smart as you are rude you would have an IQ of 300.

To the OP, in the future when you ask a question be as specific as possible and it will keep the E thugs off your back.

I understand the weight savings of taking off the front sway bar, for drags.. but why keep it off permanently? Definitely creates a significant amount of roll for a street car..
