Default plz help spring problem

In dec i got the matrix lowering springs installed on my 97gt. The springs were a 2 inch drop and it looks like they might have went a bit lower then that in the front. When im driving down the road and i hit the slitest bump my wheel alway bangs off the wheel well on the driver side. If i look there is only like a inch gap between the tire and the wheel well and were the tire hit is where the fuse box is fourmed out in the wheel well. What can i do are the springs cheap springs and i need new ones or is the car just too low and i should put differant springs in there?

Do you have stock rims on it? Don't know about matrix, they seem kinda cheap though. Also if you're doing a 2 inch drop you should have casper/camber plates and/or a bumpsteer kit.

were the spring isolators removed from your stock springs and put on the aftermarket ones you put on? Were they both put back on? you'll get about 1/4 in per each isolator (top and bottom) thats installed. If you dont have any on then you should get some, it will get you back up.

You should be able to look and see, they're rubber that sit between the control arm and spring on the bottom. Should be some kinda sleeze on top.
