Suspension Help. Please. I'm dying. Lol.

Ready to race!
So after doing literally every suspension upgrade I can think of, I am still completely lost at words. I have done: drivetrain mounts (engine, tranny, dog bone), top/bottom hockey pucks, new lightweight subframe, tyrolsport deadset rigid locking collars (front and rear with ARP bolts for each), sway bars, end links, struts/shocks, springs, strut mounts, lower control arms, bushings, front/rear strut bars, under body chassis bars(front, middle, rear) and recently had a local company do my tie rods and ball joints (should have done them myself, but I was sick and lazy). Probably more just can't think right now.

I have two issues that I need to resolve:

Most important, after the local company *cough cough* Tire Kingdom *cough cough* installed my inner/outer tie rods (OE) and ball joints (VWR), I have had an issue with rubbing my wheels into my wheel well and fender. To the point where I had to manually roll my passenger fender because it was slicing into my tire. They gave up and told me to go seek help from VW, but I want to try and diagnose and remediate myself. What could be causing the front end to be sitting about an inch lower that it rubs when I hit a bump now? They only did tie rods and ball joints. Help please. Lol.

Secondly, the dreaded clunk and squeeking issues:
This is what really spun up the major suspension overhaul. When I hit a bump it clunks and squeeks or even when I turn, it will pop. WHAT IN THE WORLD CAN THIS BE?

Can anyone besides answering these questions, post links for suspension in VW? I am at a complete loss at what else could be creating these noises.

It'll probably be more helpful if you post your tire size and offset.

Roling on Koni shocks and VWR springs. I never had the rubbing issue before they got a hold of it.

maybe your suspension is now where its supposed to be due to the beefier parts?
