^ Neither of your cars seem "too low," but it's hard to say especially when you're trying to eyeball it while they're both using larger diameter wheels than stock.

we are not running really low, i would say 1-1,5" lower than stock
I have checked the whitelines and they are pretty much the same thickness as stock so i am afraid these won't work for you either. |

I have exactly the same problem. Lowered 1" on Swift Sport springs. Have RCE camber plates up front. When I maxed out camber at -3.2, I seriously damaged the wheel well with the endlinks. After backing off the camber to -2.6, everything seemed fine. After driving for couple weeks I checked again yesterday and my driver's side is completely fine, however I can see some rubbing marks on the passenger side. I confirmed with RCE that camber plates were installed correctly so no clue why this is happening.
Any suggestions for a low profile endlink? I also started hearing some noise when I turn the wheel lock to lock, also from passenger side. Almost like smth is stuck and is forced to move, making tuck, tuck, tuck sound lol. Possible that 1" lowering is too much for stock endlinks? |

I have this same issue, no solutions yet other than running less camber. Searched for lower profile end links but no results. The washers on the stock end links seemed pretty thick, I'm wondering if removing them or replace them with thinner washers might just help a slight bit?

Did you ever find a solution that eliminated the endlink clearance issue? I'm running MCS singles, too, and would appreciate the guidance.

I went with shorter whiteline endlinks. I think my 17x9 +42 wheels with 245/40/17 tires may catch on the lock here and there, but the 17x9 +35 with 255/40 setup caught pretty regularly.
Narrower tire seemed to fix most of it. |

Has anyone with rubbing actually checked this? The front struts are definitely not symmetrical, and putting the left on the right could cause issues.
