Well today with my slicks on I noticed my wheel gap was 1/2" closer (and rubbing) on one wheel. I'm on stock struts, S1 springs. I checked over the front suspension but nothing looked out of place or bent. Springs have 10k at most on them, struts have 40k or so. I do autocross the car if that at all matters. I did not notice any leaks from the struts at all. Everything seems tight. I'm going to check the LCA bushings out, but does anyone else any any ideas of things to look for besides those listed?

i have the same problem, cept im on stock shocks/struts and the front right sits much lower than the rest. no leaking shock or anything. maybe this is normal? i never thought much of it lol.
when I had my 18's I noticed the same thing, i thought it was cause of the incline I was on...but even on a flat surface, my passenger side is a lil over .25 of an inch lower than the left.
may want to check and make sure the spring is seated correctly. i had the same problem on mine and my friends s10 when we both had them, turns out the spring wasnt seated in taht rubber thing on the top and was causing the passenger side to sit higher than the driver side.
I swapped the springs today, (left to right) problem is not the springs or how they are seated. This is really pissing me off, I cant run my slicks now.
This is something people adjust for when installing COs. The pass side is usually 1/16-1/4" lower when installing them. I've never heard of people noticing the diff when stock or on lowering springs.
That is really weird. I'm running 25.5" tall DOT slicks so I need every last bit of wheel gap when the slicks are on. I never noticed it untill I lowered the pressure in the tires from 22 to 15 psi. All the sudden I got rubbing on just the one side. Guess I need coilovers sooner then I thought.
