Has anyone run the autotech dampers with SPM performance lowing springs?

Autotech club sport sachs struts with eibach pro kit springs.. TT mounts also.. Drop is much lower then i thought.. Im rubbing like a mfer on pass side only for some reason.. Ride is decent.. Over surface imperfections its smooth and controlled.. But any potholes, pavement mounds or raised imperfections are met with a loud crash.. Its not terrible considering im pretty low.. Its liveable but i thought this setup would be a lil smoother.. Only about 100 miles or so on setup and these pics were taken day after install.. Overall im pretty happy.. Not thrilled with the rubbing tho.. Im gonna have to roll my fenders cause my winter setup is taller then summer.. I do like the way it looks tho..

What tires are you running? You don't look too low, but I know different brands have different shaped shoulders and will catch the lip of the fender. Michelin PSS's are bad about this. Hopefully you did the fender screw mod?

225 40 18 Hankook Ventus S1 noble2.. I didn't do fender screw mod.. i def need to roll. i have 2 waves on my pass side inner fender.. my pass side is alot lower then the driver side
Does the passenger side make the crashing noise more than the driver? You might make sure that the mount is orientated in the right direction. You can check it fairly easily by pulling the tire off and feeling up in the shock tower and checking where the little tabs are pointing. I think, on the passenger side, it should be pointing back and towards the driver side, but don't quote me on that. Don't know if that will fix your height difference though. Did you measure your FTG?

I have zero rubbing on everything except pass. Side front.. It def looks lower by eye and I haven't measured the FTG.. I have to look into the mount thing.. You may be right.. I knew about this but didn't mention to the installer who is a VW/Audi specialist.. I assumed he knew about the orientation.. But this could be my prob..

The passenger front side tend to rub more easier than other fenders, you can just do fender screw mod first to see if it get rid of the rub. Also are you on eibach pro kit right? maybe its a bit lower, I'm on DG so i do have a fair amount of gap and I have no rub with fender screw mod.
