I dont think stiffer springs are going to solve your problem. You're either too low or your wheel offset isn't right, or your tires are too wide.

your springs are backwards... unless you're rolling non-OEM wheels. i RAN these springs on KONI yellows and i did not have any rubbing action in the rear w/ 255/40/17.
I'm running streched tires on all 4 and they still rub ... I'm not running any camber though. (OEM alignment -1.99 in the rears)
I think I'm going to just keep my espelir/oem shock set up and run about -2.5 to about -3.0 camber in the back and see if that helps. My tires don't rub on my fender anymore (cause I rolled it) they're rubbing against my rear bumper now ... which is why I think stiffer suspension would work. It's just I don't have the funds right now to buy full on coilovers ...
any other ideas you guys wanna throw out there that can stiffen my suspension up without hurting my wallet?

I'm having the same problem with my PSS. My fenders are rolled but it rubs on the rear bumper. I'm waiting to put my new bumper on and will be trimming it so that I don't cut into my tires anymore.
