Did you check all the clips? Maybe some are broken and the fender liner is sagging and that is causing that side to rub. The only other thing I can think of is the suspension may be wearing out, or your coil-overs are not all at the same height?

BTW did you ever sell your other car?

hmm, well i will take the front tires off then and check both the height and the liner. i think it might be the liner. can you just remove the liner or will this cause other issues.


no havent sold it yet. know anyone that needs a 2002 civic? oh and thanks for the referal to E-autosports. william hooked me up with the rear fender roll and bolt relocation.

out of all the people i know who rub, its always the passenger side. you can bend the tab back a little bit (i did that and it fixed my rubbing) or you can always add a bit more negative camber to see if it will clear.

btw, if u want to trade still lmk!

If you remove the fender liner things will get dirty a lot faster and you will start getting lots of litte rocks and stuff in the fender and door area. Nothing major will result do to not having it though.

No problem with the referral. William is a great guy

i will have to look and see what tab your talking about cause im not sure. but once i can figure it out i will give it a try. your not talking about a part of the fender right? its like a plastic/metal tab something would hook into?

im still debating on the trade....decisions are difficult. thanks

its a little plastic clip that holds the fenderlining onto the fender. i took a hammer and bent mine back a little bit.

oh and about running without the fender lining, some people say the rocks that fling up can cause little dimples to appear on your fender.
