Right Rear Shock (?) Scrape... This has happened with the last two suspension setups I've had. First setup was off-the-shelf Bilstein HDs and LG G2 Super Springs and the current setup is HAL 12 ways and BMR springs. Both setups exhibit the same scraping sound from the right rear when I have alot of weight in the car (another passenger or something like my toolbox and set of track wheels and tires) and hit big bumps or dips in the road. It sounds alot like the tires rubbing inside the fenderwell very hard but I dont see that happening with the bumpstops there, so I have always thought it might be something with the shock. Does anyone else notice this and know the cause of it?

ROH Snypers with 275/40/17 Kumho Ecsta 712s, nothing out of the ordinary. I need to poke my head up in there and look around good, but I had the wheels off just the other day and noticed no rubbing spots in there.
