I bought the spc rear lower control arms and my rear alignment is even. You might consider doing the same.

The cars are like this off the factory floor.

Im at -1.8 LR, -2.8 RR

That is outside the factory spec, you should take it to a dealer and have them replace parts.. that is if you are -2.8 on stock springs and not lowered.

I did not have anywhere near this much cross camber on the rear of mine, i was at -1LR -1.2RR at stock ride height.

Update: it appears to be the JDL overpipe that is rubbing on hard turns. Going to take it home to see if i can adjust it a little bit then update again.

those pipes, they always get ya

what an uneventful ending to an exciting wild goose chase

Alright confirmed it was definitely the JDL over pipe that was the source of the noise. Adjusted it as much as i can and eliminated 95% of the rub. The flanges now from the header to the overpipe now line up very poorly - i guess that doesn't surprised me as i've had bad luck with JDL parts in general. For the record it's a JDL UEL Header too - so there's no excuses on why their over pipe shouldn't be a perfect fit.

Below shows the clearance i get with the cross-member and the over pipe. Unfortunately after loosening both the front-pipe and header side of the overpipe there is simply no more room for adjustment.
