I have the same type of setup except H&R sport springs. Your front tire is rubbing on the inner wheelwell closest to the motor. Check for a wear spot there or on the plastic inner liner at the front. Best to crank your wheels to the right and take a look at the contact points.

Sometimes when i turn into a gas station or shopping center and turn my wheel sharply to the right, i hear grinding noises. it also feels like the body has a lot of flex. not very solid. this only happens on the right front area. i'm guessing it's a suspension problem, but what? shocks? i have schnitzer lower springs on 18x8.5 rims and thats it. is it worth getting an x brace, strut bar, and sway bars, to help correct the flex? but i'm most concerned with that grinding sound! i usually take right turns really wide now to avoid that noise. anyone with any ideas? please help. thanks
