Re: Rubbing

yup.  I rubbed like that when I had the teardrops on, Im on bilstein sports 
and neuspeed sports.  It actually went away nearly completely when I put on 
16" wheels with 205/40/16 rubber.  if you pull the splash guards in the 
fenders it will probably go away, although you should check and see where 
it's coming from.
