Ok last night I put on my kyb agx shocks and ebaich prokit the front dosent rub but the back does only when I turn hard or slightly turn and hit a bump. I am going to roll the fenders if I can find a good set of instructions on doing it. The question I have is the front of the car I can stick 2 fingers between the tire and the fender the back I can only fit one. Its like the rear lowered more than the front. Is this cause the front shocks have a longer rod on the shock like everone says or is there something on the back I need to mess with. The other thing I noticed is the top of the back shock and the bottom of the bump stop (which I did cut) only has like 2 inchs in between them maybe 2 and half is that right. I have a set of evo 8 rims on with stock tires which are 235/45/17 if anyone needs to know. Car is a 98 gst anyone with this setup please help with ideas or things you went through to get your car set up right.
Thanks AJ
 
Give it some time and I am sure the fronts will settle a little bit... DAMN that is low though.

Have you had it aligned yet?
 
Mine is the exact same way; however, when I measured everything, the car is still sitting even. I think that the front fenders naturally have more room than the back, which is why you're getting the gap differences. As for rolling the fenders, be really careful because the way they're rolled from the factory makes it really easy to distort the fender (take a look if you can, or feel the roll, and you'll see what I mean). I had my fenders rolled by a reputable body shop for $80, and have NEVER even grazed the fender with my tires since the work was done.
