Default Tire Rubbing

I just recently lowered my car about 1" with the BMR springs and KYB AGX all the way around. If i have someone in the back seat and hit a dip or a bump my passanger rear tire hits the fender. Do i just need some new bump stops? Thanks in advance

What kind of wheels/tires are you running? You should get an adjustable panhard bar to center the rear end. If the tire still rubs you may need to either bend in the inner fender a bit with a hammer or whatnot, or if the tire is actually hitting on the outer fender lip you may need to roll the fenders.

An Adjustable Panhard bar is all you need to center that rear end, and you should be good to go.

Hello
He's right! When you lowered the vehicle it offsets the rear end. And that is what is allowing the tire to rub. Below is a link to show you what all UMI Performance has to offer as far as adjustable pan hard bars.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help!
Thanks
Brad
