   When does it rub? All the time or just when you go over speed bumps or dips etc.

    but used to scrape vv.bad with 195/15/45's down 70mm.
    
    So either your std shocks, or width of tyres.

    Are your rear shocks fucked? Mines lowered 40mm all round on standard shocks(afaik) and is solid.
