Default M9 and Eibach Pros rubbing the gas tank?

I have a Moser M9 in my 2000 Trans am and recently put a set of Eibach Pro lowering springs on the car. I went to roll the rear fenders the other night and noticed that the fill plug was rubbing the plastic gas tank significantly. Who else has had this issue and what have you done to resolve the issue. I through the stock springs back on in the mean time but would like to lower it back down.

Sorry buddy, bigger rear end needs more room. Better learn to live with the raised stance.

If you have adjustable lower control arms you could move the rear forward slightly, it shouldn't take much to get it to clear. Bob

You can't be talking about the M9? Bob
