Not that long ago i changed my rear shocks from standard to some raceland ones since id just got my car lowered and it was scraping quite badly
So once they were fitted the car was fine but recently with only 3 people in it always scrapes when weight is put on the rear drivers side wheel
Also you can grab hold of the alloy and rock back and fourth with your hands and the car bounces really badly, so therefore with people in its really low
I dont know if i need stiffer shocks or what....
Thanks guys

More likely to be torsion bars than the dampers, could upgrade to 180 ones?
