thats really wierd, do both drivers and passengers side rub?

It shouldn't matter where you adjust the camber plates because the strut and knuckle should move together

usually a problem like that is because of a bent knuckle

another thing, you have the preload on the springs almost at the bottom? and you car still sits high in the front??? that would suggest too heavy of a spring rate:scratch:

yes rubs on both sides in the front. ya i have it dropped almost all the way down in the front.
i think wrong springs in the front, but beside rate do they come in physical different sizes?

just measured the OD of the individual spring,both front and rear are bout 13mm wide,

front to back back to front it is a 30 minute job.
I will post pics of the exact same suspension with the springs in the right place if you would like although you have already seen those pics.

This pic should explain it.

I think it looks like u have 4 rear springs.. I would like u to take the struts off of one side and put them side by side so we can see what they all look like up front and personal.

upon looking at it again with my friend, appears it is the tabs on the coilover to short that bolts up to the knuckle.
