Info: I have a 67 Camaro with Fatman Fab. Arms, 12pt QA1 (coil-overs),DSE 1/2" drop solid body mounts. My car is too low on the passenger side (tire rubs in the fender well when I drive over the smallest of bumps at any speed) and just about right on the drivers side. I have the coil-overs adjusted to the same height. I measured the frame height from the floor to the frame and it is the same. Any suggestions?

roll the fender lip, so it is more round than square, also could be your subframe out of aligment, square the wheel base up

It is not rubbing on the fender lip just the fender well as the shocks compress. But thanks for your suggestions.

It looks like you dropped it too much. Raise the spring on the coilovers. What is the rim size including the BS.

The rims are 17x8 frt, 17x9.5 rr. How do I lift it back up. I have the coil-overs about 1" from the top. Has anyone used QA1 Coil-overs??? and adjusted them properly? Thank-you for your comments

I removed the 1/2 drop DSE body mounts with rubber mounts and adjusted the coil overs to the maximum height. WHAT A DIFFERENCE in ride quality. The rubber mounts ride so much better.

Glad you were able to fix your "problem" with rubbing. Car looks good Brihan.

It may ride better, but it will handle worse due to the increase in body flex. Get the stock height solid body mounts.
