check the brake rotor shields, sometimes they bend and might be contacting the back of the rotors.

So I found my situation, the new struts are slightly designed differently than the OEM ones. My buddy who's a mechanic said for me to use wheel spacers. Do you think this is correct? I'm not doubting him, just want a second opinion.
