lowered and rubbing my rear wheel
so I have bmr 1.5" drop springs, toe rods, trailing arms, and sub-frame bushings and rear alignment is at about -1.1 on camber.
My Issue: When I hit a decent dip or bump in the road I can hear something hit or grind on my drivers side rear wheel along the bead of the tire and rim. The rim is clearly being rubbed/gaulded by something, but I can't find what its hitting or what is rubbing my wheel when the suspension is being compressed... Any thoughts?

e-brake cable. What size wheels/tires you running with this drop? I had that issue with the passenger side on my dropped car when I went with wider wheels and smaller sidewall, and car fully loaded.

I had to modify mine and built some brackets to elevate the "spool" that sets inside of a retaining bracket. Basically moved it up 3/4 inch by putting the spool on top of the bracket with another u-shaped bracket I had. I had the same problem occur when I was fully loaded taking a road trip this week and heard the "shhcrape" sound when the coil-overs compressed in a certain way. Turns out some wheel weights were just in the right spot to hit the cable. I try to snap some pics.

Is there any marks on or inside the wheels' barrel?
