Default need help please

I lowered my 98 ex yesterday with aneibach pro system(springs/struts 1.5" drop)and everytime I go over a bump oraround a corner therear wheels on either siderub on the quater panel. I got 17s with toyo proxies 205/40/ZR17. also theres some rubbing happeningon the inside lip of the rims against the upper control arms. I replaced the control arms in the rear with an adjustablecamber arm,but i think if i were to camber it inward it would scracth on the inside lip even worse, i might even risk damaging a tire
-$150. Im not too familiar with the pro/cons of adjusting the camber. wouldn;t this cause uneven tire wear? Anybody have any ideas other then just getting new wheels?

i have 205/40/17's as well. i have NRG coilover springs and recently bought skunk2 camber kits. i noticed some rubbing before i got the camber kit, but i think you have a bigger problem then i had. do you have camber kits? camber kit would help tire wear (acquired from lowering) andmight help with your rubbing problem. but i am no expert, just saying from my own experience.

yeah, i replaced the upper control arm with a cam bolt, but i think i need a shorter lower control arm to pull the wheels in alittle and then adjust the cam bolt negativly
