you talking about the wheel well plash guards?. i don't think you should take those off. if you do than, you either have too big of tire + too much lowered. or somethings wrong with your lowering job.

Then your wheel/tire combo is too large. No one I know has had to take theirs off.

i mean i took mine's off since i added a bodykit, and the guards werent secure, so i never replaced it. bad i dea. engine bay has to be clean often and the rocks go everywhere. so i would get your lowering redone. if you got coilovers, raise them. butt i returned to stock appeal and all, sold the kit, and i need to replace mine now!

what is your tire size, 215/??/17? its the side wall thats gunna be a problem. my winter wheels are a problem now that my car is dropped, 205/65/15 so you need to check your side wall size, my car is dropped ~2" on 205/40/17 and i have no rubbing issues.

Did you get struts too or just stock. It will help with the ride plus oem ones blow very quickly.

i've got 215/45/17 series tires and with those tires, you can't lower your ride no lower than an inch and a quarter or a half. something like that. 40 is good but you're probably too low. thats what sounds like the problem. 215 is ok. the 40 is ok. sounds like you went a bit too SLAMED!

well i think that it is... i like it better knowing i cna make it over on sped bump rahther than when i HAD a buddy club front, and it was retarded! i hated inclined driveways...and all sorts of crap. so i think, buy a full-coilover or get a shock and coilover setup at the same time.

btw...if you want 17s with a lowering..205s are all you need in the width. 40s are big enough. i wnet 16s to get a bigger sidewall. i got 205/50/16 and i wouldnt go back to some 17s....what a waste! no offense!
