Just lowered my car on eibach pro kit springs and was seeing if anyone has a problem with rubbing on the screw by the side markers and if there was a solution to this problem.

Yup negative camber. Won't handle as great though
That’s kind of a broad statement there. I’d venture to say more negative camber would in fact make it handle better, but front camber is only one part of a proper alignment.

True what was I thinking lol

It'll be bad wear on tires but shouldn't be too bad if it's not too aggressive

I just installed my d2 coilovers on my si and put 20mm spacers up front and it sits real flush with the fender. I did not add any camber because I didn’t want camber and it rubbed on that tab a ton. I ended up taking the screw out, folding the liner behind the tab, heated up the paint on the tab and bent it with a rubber hammer. Now it doesn’t rub at all and still looks as if I did not modify anything. Il try to post pics tomorrow of a close up of it but here’s pics of the fitment so you get an idea of how close it was.

Not sure if you were talking to me or the original poster? But if that was directed to me I did not add any negative camber, and I do not want to add any negative camber as well. I just modified the tabs

How are the coilovers working on the si. Any lights or warnings?

What size of wheels/tires is the OP running? Seems like that could be a cause of the rubbing. Plenty of other forum members have more aggressive springs or coilovers than Eibach Pro

When I was installing my clear side markers I was thinking this would need to be done once lowered with wider wheels. Glad to hear its that easy.

Coilovers are working great! I love how they ride. They ride super smooth. At some bumps I would say stock suspension on sport mode is stiffer. I have my dampening set at 1/4 stiff all around. Il prolly stiffen them up. But yes the ADS light is on but d2 is currently working on a module for the light.
