a couple of months ago i had to have my control arms replaced... broke off while i was driving... and when the guy installed them he adjusted my tortion bars cuz the car was sitting crooked... leaning towards the drivers side. since then every time i have a passenger with me (sometimes without) i hear a rubber grinding sound from the rear passenger wheel well. so today i pulled off the wheel and saw where the wheel was rubbing.. it isn't damaging the wheel (from what i can tell).. but i wanted to ask, do you think maybe my springs are bad? or is it something else?

if i get springs like that then my car will be lowered .8" is that a noticeable difference? should i get better torsion bars to lower the front? what size torsion bars are good for a daily driver that will eventually have a b16?

im not that sure if u need the t/b up front to compensate for the springs in back but ive heard that for a dd it would be best to go around 23-25 mm t/b.....like i said im not that sure b/c i have yet to do this to my daily driver....
good luck,

alright thanks for all your help and advice.. ill prob. just replace the springs for now and hopefully that will fix my problem.. then ill replace the torsion bars when the new engine goes in
