I am having a problem with tire clearance on my 2002. I recently installed Bilstein Heavy duty shocks, suspension techniques 1" lower springs and am using 19 mm swaybars f & R with new links. My front tires are scraping the fenders under hard braking and mild to hard cornering. I have 185/70-13 tires all the way around and ride height is same front and back when sitting still. Any ideas as to what I could do to eliminate this problem would be greatly appreciated.

185/70/13 should not rub at all. What rims do you have? If the offset is incorrect, you could rub that way. My car has 15x7 with 195s all around, 1.75" drop front, 1.5" drop rear....no rubbing. But my rims are designed for my car. Are all your Suspension parts new or used, maybe your Bilsteins are shot (if they're used).
Good luck!

Thanks M3CosmosJoe for the input. I put Bilstein HD all the way around. I am not sure about wheel offset, I am using older Ronal Wheels. I have used the same wheels on my 70 and no problem. I think maybe most of the suspension bushings are old. I guess that might be a factor. Thanks Again!!!!
