    What size tyres? Offset etc do you have that is causing such bad scrubbing? You could also use wheel spacers but thats illegal.

    i had my ute as low as you can go and it did not scrub at all (245-35-19) is it scrubbing both sides or just one? if its just one you might need an adjustable panhard rod.

    It would depend how low he indicates as low. Also mainly the width of the tyres.
