Fully paid up at last

[Andy Bennett]

for rubbing I had similar in my RP and it was soggy springs meaning that the car was leaning and wheels were rubbing on the arches.
When I replaced my rear springs the car lifted by 3-4cm. Front did not raise up but was noticeably firmer and nicer to drive around corners.
Might also be front shock absorber central adjuster needing cleaning of oil etc and tightening, cheaper to do before going for a new spring.
If you can find a similar car you can do a comparison on sogginess and ride height.
