Default Need help/knowledge

Hey guys recently lowered my 02 wrx hatch, although it is not lowered greatly when the car has a decent load in the back or when I take corners hard-ish Im getting decent guard scrape. What have people done to prevent this? get their guards rolled professionally or attempted themselves? And also does anyone know where I can get this done around Perth?
Thanks for any quality knowledge
Joel

Roll the guards.
There is a thread dedicated to it here.

Heard some good feedback about Des from AutoFX.
Alternatively, Luke from Dentcraft has good feedback as well and there was a group buy in the past for his services.

Front, rear, or both scrape under load?

On top of guard rolling, try stiffer springs, or increase sway bar diameters to reduce bodyroll.
