Hi folks,

I currently have 18x9.5 +38 ambit Re02's. I never had a rubbing issue but my tires are pretty close to the front strut?

This upcoming winter break, I will be purchasing Swift Spec R lowering springs. This will drop my car 1.1" in the front and 1" in the back. I will also be purchasing OEM crashbolt and go as negative as I can, so probably about -1.5.

Im not too sure how camber works but I am imagining that the onlything that is tilting is the wheel, towards the shocks.

Anyways, the question is, will I experience rub with the spring perch/strut or should I buy a 3-5mm spacer. Or, are the OEM crashbolts even worth it and -1.5 camber won't do/look much.

Thanks!
