    Front coilover problem..??

    Hey guys, Ive got a small problem. I have coilovers all around. Today I lowered the front as low as it can go...soon after I drove it. My problem is this, when I apply my brake (somewhat hard) it makes a grinding sound. It also makes this sound when I hit bumps in the road... Looked at everything and seems to look ok. But wont go away. Any Ideas?! Thanks guys..

      I was thinkin' that but its not that deep "Vrrrrrrrrr" sounds a tire makes when it rubs, plus I see no tire wear.. Its a hardcore grind sound. Like a rock scraping on sidewalk sound.

          Checked the bottom of your front lip or bumper? If you dropped it but didn't stiffen it, you could be scraping.

                    Thats good to hear I checked out your pics possible the lip was dragging and your tiers are big are you the first person to lower it? Because I bet whats happing there is a lip on the inside of your wheel well thats hangs down. And on my car when I braked or hit bumps the tire would hit and rub that inner lip. And whats you coilover setup exactly.
