There's your problem right there. Put some more camber on the front of that bad boy. Factory specs are wack and with that much camber in the back you must have a TON of understeer. Those specks are terrible for handling and in my opinion unsafe... unless you like driving a lowered honda. How much bias do you have on your DCCD to the rear?
If you're that low (even raised up a half inch) and you want to put a lip on... you'll scrape all over the place. LOL. But you'll look good. The lip is going to lower the front of your car at least 2.5 inches.

You must be way down to be hitting that. But yeah... in that case more negative camber would cause more rubbing.
That's why you see these super slammed cars running weird camber... run low negative in the front so it clears the fender wells and mad rear negative camber to clear the outer lip. Purely for looks.
But you'll see, this is a recurring soap box moment for me...

It's a sliding scale: the lower you go and more rear neg. camber you add(front should have at least 1 degree more neg than rear) the worse your car will understeer and the more you will rub/get rocked by potholes. I'd raise it 3/4" and run some functional camber settings so you can enjoy that turbo without the shake,rattle,and roll

Wait... on the inside of the fender, not just the rubber part that protects the metal lip on the fender? I'd have to see it. It's not hitting your strut is it?

The tophat kit I ordered didnt come with the upper spring perch or upper spring cushion...I dont know what to do now. Should I send it back and look for used ones or look for just used spring perches and whatnot...
