Is there any chance the alignment is off or the strut is blown on the corner that's rubbing?

I did a 4 wheel alignment about two months ago. I replaced all 4 struts with kyb's when I got the car over three years ago.

are you on stock springs? it looks and sounds like a spring issue to me. like you might have a worn out spring. its getting weak and sagging. that would cause a decrease in ride height, as well as the rubbing problem.

And maybe it's me but when I look at the car at a certain angle, it looks like it's leaning on a side.

lol because it is. my stock springs did this when i got my car. its got 198k on the chassis now. but the springs have been gone for about a year now.

i would recommend getting a nice quality spring. oem replacements will last as long as the oe spring did. i have always loved eibach. million mile warranty. will never sag, guarenteed for 1 million miles. not to mention they retain a nice ride for the street.

i my self opted for something else. i went with some dropzone coils, but im now looking for a true coilover set.
