I just had the Eibach sport kit installed on my 01 CL Type S and it rubs a lot. Anyone know of a local place that can roll my fenders? Or even if there's a member that will roll them for a fee? Thanks.

Just buy a roller, they aren't that much, and they are easy to use.

The cheapest i see them for is 250$. How much would a body shop charge?

find out EXACTLY where it is rubbing first. May not be the part of the fender you would roll. I have a drop with 8" wide wheels with 235 tires and it was rubbing where the bumper meets the metal part of the fender well. I ground it down a little and all is well.

dammn OG member from 01.

like jproy said, see if you can see where its rubbing at. if it is rubbing that tab he is talking about where there is a screw with a large washer then the roller will do you no good.

just get a dremel with a cutting wheel and grind it down as much as you can.

Yep, same shit happened to me with my 19x8" wheels and 235 series tires! Unless you grind that metal down, you will cut into your tire...I learned the hard way!

jproy

So did I my friend....so did I! Its interesting because the passenger rear doesnt hit it if the wheel is completely compressed through the suspension travel. Just goes to show you the manufacturing variances.

This shows the location we are talking about



You can see the green arrows show where the metal is you need to trim and the purple shows where to trim the platic down a little if it is rubbing. You can see where it was rubbing on my tire and where the tire rubbed down the plastic quite a bit from friction.



This shows the finished trimmed area. It doesnt rub anymore

jproy

Check to see if this little shit at the top of the fender well is rubbing also! I ground it down a lot but you could just take it out if you are rubbing it.

My rear tires were pretty much lined up right under the metal fender so even the slightest bumps caused me to rub. I had the fenders rolled at a place in Wheaton for like $150 and it hardly ever rubs anymore unless you drive into a huge pothole or something.
