So I told my boy that I am going to go back to stock suspesion and he said well I trade you for mines so I said ok and my question is why does'nt his rub like mines did? He carries 3 ppl in the back seat and has a system, why did mines rub and not his? He told me it could probably be the lower control arms but he was'nt sure.. Maybe you guys know.... I wanna drop my car again lol and I dont want to go through the same headache lol, please help thanks.

Not sure where you're rubbing, but usually it has to do with the offset of the wheels and the size tires you have. Also, did you have a camber kit?

rolling your rear fenders or removing your fenderwell trim in the front usually prevents rubbing. If you're still rubbing after that then you need to give your wheels some slight negative camber to prevent rubbing.

give us more information. Size rims and tires? camber kit? did you get an alignment?

Rubbing in the rear is a common problem with our cars. Maybe your friend just has more negative camber than you did, or a different offset on his rims.

When I got my rims, I had to add negative camber to the rear, because it was rubbing. Now it doesn't rub, no matter how many people sit in the car.

Just make sure you buy a rear camber kit, and get proper offset rims.
