315/25/19 + PSS9s + 1" Drop = Rubbing
Got PSS9's and Conti 315/25/19 in the back....also had it lowered about an inch....

I recently discovered while driving on the freeway, I would rub if I encountered a very hump/bump. I'm curious if there are bump stops for the rears...or do I just need to raise it up a bit. I'm sure y'all have dropped your rears 1" or perhaps even more.

Anybody else have this problem?

Sounds weird to me. Are you sure they installed the coilovers correctly? They did put the strut bearings back in didn't they? Just asking....

Yeah man and that's not all, I'm assuming whoever installed it didn't align it too well either because of that crazy tire wear we saw when you came in the other week What's your carmber at now?

when this happened to us we had to "role" the fender, but ended up cutting it a little to fit and adjusted the camber...works great now...
