Rolled my Fenders to roll lower

I had my front and rear fenders rolled. This allows me to roll lower and the car even seems to be able to sit a little lower now.

My only issue I have right now is that there is a mounting tab for the front bumper that rubs under bumps. It does not rub when driving or when lowering the car for parking.

I was able to cut off some of the exposed tab and hammer it flat. It rubs less, but still rubs under some bumps. I may have to figure out a way to relocate it.

Here is the safe drive height I am at right now.

I could possibly drive showing no tire but the tab rubs really bad under the slightest bump if I do.

Sorry for the iphone pics, no camera today.

Wouldn't he just eat through tires if his caster was off?

I think I can cut more of the tab, and possibly relocate the mount. I don't think I will mess with any camber or caster just to drive a little lower.

The car rolls pretty low and parks on the ground so I can live with having to drive 1/2 inch higher than I want and still be happy.

I drive it daily, so the camber caster would kill some tires.

I don't think there is enough adjustment for caster to get me to clear the tab. I think the dremmel is coming out this weekend.
