man, was playing with the car today and had a vision. if you have a 98 se or an se-r with a stb and rubs (if it dosent, its a miracle) here is what you can do to keep it from rubbing. (kinda ghetto, but hey, I'm from TX). what you need to do is get a basic hammer and a towel, and where it rubs, wrap the head of the hammer with the towel, and tap up about 1/8 to 1/4 inch where it rubs. you know, where there is no paint there anyways. not that big of a deal and keeps it from rubbing, unless you miss of course (I did'nt, used to frame houses, good with a hammer)
