Call in sick haha. Unrelated question but, I'm on Stance coilovers with helper springs up front. I guess I could say I'm pretty low. I'm on the stock 16s and rub when I make hard turns or lock to lock. This happens on the inside of the wheel well I believe. What can I do? Spacers? Bang in the wheel well?

Rubs on inside, like the wheels have too high of an offset maybe. There is no fender liners. Rubs on metal on inside. Maybe you can take a look at it on Saturday? What wheels are you on btw
I'd recommend just changing the drop from the coilovers so that it doesn't rub. I really wouldn't recommend spacers, but if you wanna stay that low, then yeah you probably do need spacers.

okay so on the coilovers, there's two rings that hold the spring in place right? one of em is thinner in height and wider in width and above the other one thats thicker in height and smaller in width. judging on your height, i think your rim or tire is hitting the thinner wider one when you do the full turns because of how small and high offset your stockers are. the only way to properly fix that is raise it up or buy lower offset wheels. ill take a look at it on saturday for you. im on 18x10 et 30 all around and i had this issue for my wheels being to wide at the height i wanted but i fixed it by going a little bit higher.

you might be able to see it. depends on how dirty and scratched your coilovers already were. and idk about the shiny spot. my brembos wouldnt allow me to stick my hand in and feel for it but try turning the wheel all the way and sticking your hand in throught the spoke to see if your wheels are touching anything.
