I spent a few hours and installed my KYB AGX struts and my Tein s tech springs today. Right after installing the goods, I went straight to Schwab's for an alignment, camber adjustment, and threw on some new tires. I noticed a huge improvement in ride quality from what i was at, but something just wasn't right. The front of the car has massive wheel gap while the rear is pretty squatty. As i take turns and hit bumps, i'm now rubbing the tires on the rear fender. I went from being lowered about 2.3" on coilovers to these Tein springs which are a little over an inch drop. What the hector??? :confused: I also went from 225/35/18 tires to 225/40/18 since I was raising the car.

I double checked that i didn't have the springs on backwards and I don't. Could it be that Tein just screwed up? What do you guys think the problem is??

I know that Eibach prokits are good since i've had them before so I've ordered and should have them on Wednesday. I thought I would try something else and I guess it didn't work.
 
Also, my wheels are 18x8. I hope that's not the reason for rubbing
