So took my car out for some rainy fun, I'm super rusty since I haven't driven the car all winter. But when I spun I could hear rubbing on the front fenders when the front tires would hit lock (ie spinning). This has happened a few times before, tires are 225/45/17 on an 17x8 +35, about -2 degrees of camber and the tires are pretty much new. Secret Element Rods are the only mod I have to my steering and the front spring rate is 6k. So my question is what do I need to fix to not have this issue? Stiffer springs? Stiffer dampening? Adjust the height (front is lower than the rear, by a little bit)?

Just roll the inside lip up so it can rub without catching, and then just let it rub. Smoke streams off the front fender are sweet.
6k front is pretty soft though. 8k front 6k rear works pretty good.

Does anyone know if there are OEM fenders that are like FRP or carbon?

get 9.5 or 10
i bought some spacers on zilvia for like 50 bucks. you'd be surprised how much spacer you can fit...
i brought my vsxx to a -12 offset on stock fenders with 37mm spacers

I tried flexing my fenders at first and it still sucked dick.
Now, i have like 2 bolts holding my fenders on. They rattle like **** when i drive but ya'll need to borrow one from the book of eli....um....Ilia, i mean and do the hydraulic front end. **** works. You can run over all kinds of ****, hit lock and the fenders just nicely move out of the way for your wheels/tires. Good times.
Upgrading to slice-n-dice Hibino fenders whenever i get more spacer and get my lower ball joints extended.
Fiberglass is lame.

Nah. I'm so ghetto i'll just throw some ugly *** **** together so everyone continues their hate quest on my ***. **** building cars to please other people. Build em to **** everyone off.
I haven't even started on any of this yet but i am eager to see what zero camber, a hydro handbrake and ss braided lines with halfway decent pads on slotted/drilled fronts feels like. Was going to turn my back on my welded but i'm ***** deep in getting some turbo/fuel bits for my vg so i put a bunch of **** on hold. Hx35 v6 is going to go so ******* hard. Flap disks are on their way. Picked out a dremel. Just trying to offload two turbos, two intercoolers and two bov's so i can fund yet another project i'm working on with a few friends.
Jebus, if you are reading this, what front spring rate are you running? Your ish is similar weight to my setup however my ish will be tucked fully behind the strut towers. I'll cut the damn firewall if i have to.

Just checking in, doing some brake and chasis update. Hope to be back on the road tearing up ****. The fronts are coming off and running a 215 or 225
Specs on mine is stance coils "******* locking pos", 18x9.5 0offset and the rear is 18x10.5
-25 offset. Thinking of getting more coils but haven't decided which ones
