Default Driveshaft rub

My 98 gt has tokico illuminas and eibach sport springs installed. Also have an aluminum driveshaft.. Whenever im on the gas hard andrear is squating my drive shaft rubs the bottom of the tunnel. actuall theres a bracket to hold a couple cables there that its rubbing on and taking a bug chuck out of the shaft. couldthis be fixed with some bigger tires?( i have 245's) or should i change out the springs and shocks in the back? any other fixes?

Its the E-brake bracket. You have to either bend the bracket back, or get a smaller ds. You could try getting stiffer shocks, but I thought those Tokikos were the ****. My buddy had same prob, but a 3/4" notch all the way around his new ds.[:@]

The pinion angle should be nose down, relative to the driveshaft. Check it out.
