Maybe a set of roll center adjusters?

For mine, it's specific to the coilovers. They have a setup guide that includes setting the ride height adjustment and spring preload, which translates to various ride heights at different spring rates (or so)

(Note the second link, they have a 130mm ground clearance on the 86, many sports cars have 110mm...)
I see that's probably due to the nature of the STI pink springs and of course the OEM struts, I am pretty sure if I had 6k springs on my coilover setup my rubbing issue would be even more severe

makes sense but after a certain amount of drop rubbing becomes an issue regardless of the spring preload or the spring rate, in my case 1.25" drop is ideal (for most tracks ) but I still have some rubbing with 245s, I will try to raise about another .25"..


the only reason I didn't want to raise the car as much is because the max camber I get is about -3.0 in the front, I probably won't be able to get as much camber once it's raised again since the camber plates are already maxed out
