Rubbing sound on Tein S-Techs
Today I lowered my car using a set of Tein S-Tech springs, and while the drop is pleasing, I'm getting a rubbing/scraping noise that seems to be coming from my rear right.
I finished too late to get an alignment today, but plan on getting one first thing in the morning. Will this alleviate the noise? I'm kind of concerned about it, it's pretty loud.

It's possible. I'll ask the guy doing my alignment tomorrow to make sure everything is snug, since I won't have access to a garage for a few days. I forgot to mention I put on a set of 25mm wheel spacers. I'm gonna remove them tomorrow and see if that improves it at all.

Is the sound constant? I have the same setup (springs and spacers) and my tires will make contact with the fender linig when I hit a bump. If it only makes the noise when ya hit a bump it prolly that. Just have to get your fenders rolled. If the sounds constant then it's somthin else.

And the winner issss... BrilliantblackRX8!
Turns out the impact wrench we were using at my buddy's house didn't have the necessary torque to get all the bolts tightened down correctly. Luckily the shop I took it to caught it before my suspension fell apart on the road.
Pretty embarrassing, but at least I learned to crank everything down by hand, if just to check.
Thanks for the help everyone!
