Default Help with slamming car

Hey guys. Just bought some bc n+ from another member. I have them installed and pretty low right now. I've rolled the fenders a little bit and removed the rear tab.

My cars on 18"s. It's still rubbing pretty bad so I'm wondering if there's anything else that I can do.

Also. I'm still confused on how to adjust the damper. Plz help and thanks.

I will have some pics when I actually get on a computer.

What alignment do you have and what offset and width of the wheels and tires?

Do these coilovers have external reservoirs on the rear? If not, then check to make sure your rear dampers still have compression travel before hitting the bump stops. If they are the coilovers I'm thinking of, you really can't go very low with them.

Size: Front 18x8.5, Rear 18x9.5

The offset is around 43 I think. I'm not positive though

No they don't have the resivoirs but a lot of people here do slam their cars with these.

A little bit of the fender. But mainly the back edge of the rear bumper. I Trimmed it a bit but it's still rubbing.
