Fender Roll or Adjust Front Camber?

[ayeitsmikko]

I’m trying to figure out which would be the best route with my rubbing issues.

If I’m driving by myself, I don’t have any issues rubbing unless I hit a dip at a higher speed. However, I had family ride with me (2 people) aside from me and I hear the front fenders rubbing especially in the front passenger side while driving casually going over small dips and bumps.

I am lowered in Eibach Pro Kit springs and have a wheel and tire setup as:

18x8.5 35 wheels with 235/40R18 tires.

I think the Si has this bolt thread in the front struts that can be used for slight camber.

You should pull out the Guide Pin, this will let you max negative camber to -0.8".

You should also remove the screw behind the side marker lights, and bend the tab forward. Instructions: https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/tire-rub-on-side-marker-screws.23712/post-404388

That should eliminate any rubbing. In the unlikely chance that you will still have rubbing, you can get adjustable lower ball joints to take camber to -1.6:

You guys are the best! I’ll go ahead and try that, if not I’ll go ahead and get that adjustable lower ball joints from your website.

Thanks!

Does that Whiteline lower ball joint offer more camber than the SPC one?
