Aftermarket suspension

Hi guys I have a 09 ralliart with stock suspension and I am looking to upgrade due to the fact that when I have 4 people in the car the fender rubs on the tires and also when I hit a bump. I don't have a huge budget about 1200 max but I was wondering if any of you had any Megan's or bc's on ur car. And the spring rate on the Megan's I like it is 12 kg front and 11kg back. I would love to here your opinions

Now first question, what wheel specs and tires are you running? That will help us. Now if you are on aftermarket wheels and tires, easiest solution to stop the rubbing is to roll the fenders.

Will rolling them really prevent it from. Scraping? The fender is being pulled down from catching on the tire but it is very little. I will post a picture in the morning

How wide are the rims though? Offset?

Holy crap 19x9.5 with 235. That is very aggressive setup. Idk if you did research or if they came like that. But you need a roll and pull like ASAP. It's your wheel and tire election is why you are rubbing badly.

Ya I will do that asap. Ya it came like this the tires are huge. Where the fender is starting to pull away it is shredding the tire where it hits it

What do you mean by a pull I know that I need to roll the fenders. But what is a pull?

Holy crap you're eating away at your tire. And I'm under the assumption you have no idea what the offset on the rim is. Definitely roll the fenders and if you can, run some camber.

Would that be necessary because I HATE camber I think it looks awful

If the roll/pull doesnt do the trick you may have to. If you only need 1-2 degrees of camber to fix your issue it doesnt look too bad.

Correct. Neg 1 - neg 2 is just fine to run. Thanks about natural. I'm just lowered on springs and my neg camber is abou 1.5-2. You're thinking about running mad negative camber which is what you're probably used to seeing with slammed cars.

Would the point of camber be go pull the wheel into the well
