Default spring warning & question

Guys, right now I'm runnin Espilir springs (1.3" drop) with 18" Volk rims (225 x 40 x 18 front & 255 x 35 x 18 rear). I noticed alot of rubbing. Today going up a driveway the RF tire hit my fender and bented it pretty badly and carve a big chunk out of my tires which probably gonna need to be replaced also. The thing is that I was very careful and the driveway wasn't very steep. A little warning for all the dropped cars out there to be even more careful than I was. Anyways, I'm gonna need to raise it up. What spring do you guys suggest? Please list the spring and how many inches it drop.

Thanks,
John

if the 18" hit the fender..then it sounds like you have a bad offset...what offset do you have?

the springs don't sound like the problem...

I don't recall what the offset was, but I got the rims from Jeff from Evolution and I'm sure he knows what offset our cars need. So I don't think the offset is wrong.

does it look like your tires stick out farther than your fender?
