What size wheel/tire are you running?
what brand springs did you put on?
what was the drop supposed to be?
What brand struts did you buy?


If you are running some big and or wide wheels/tire combo, and have a large drop, then thats your problem.

Rolling your fenders may be an option.

On some cars it is possible to swap the front and rear springs...did you happen to do that? I just ordered the struts for my Corolla today so I'm not sure if it can happen on these cars.

Nope, the front and rear springs are noticeably different.
