if the kit came new it should have come with a replacement bushing stop. if not justcut the old one in half.... its located in the tunnel closer to the tranny.... if thats the part thats rubbing.

i guess you can be more specific on what is actually rubbing, if you know. b/c when i lower mine with bbk springs i had some slight rubbing too, but it was from the flow masters touching the driveshaft.

If the rubbing is minor you can live with it, or even cut the tyre slightly to make it fit- bodgy, yes, but as long as it's only a slight cut- well short of the belts- it is okay. Anyone thinking this is totally stupid should bear in mind tyres are DESIGNED to wear out and become thinner.
