As you lower the car, your rear wheels move out of alignment. You need an adjustable panhard rod, also known as stabaliser bar to fix your problem. :)

the adjustable panhard rod will only fix it if theres enough clearance for the rear axle to move towards the passenger side.

A second option is to take a trip to a body shop and ask them to shape the lip that few millimeters so it stops rubbing.
 
I had the same problem and i got a ajustable panhard rod also and it sorted it out. I got a whiteline one which was a bit of pain in the arse because you cant ajust it after its fitted. Been told you can ajust the RSR onces once fited.

yeah get a adjustable rod on it and bring it across abit, and if it still rubs remove the arch trim, roll back the arch and trim the arch trim back and clue it back on, got mine pretty low on the back ad dont rub at all
