I'm sure you have the tire budget...

Camber alone does not kill tires.

I actually think I'm having this same problem.

Stock front bar + stock endlinks with MCS singles.

Have shorter endlinks on the way which I suspect will fix it right up.

Different length endlink will probably not do anything for clearance at the strut mount since the mounting tab position is unchanged on the strut. Although a smaller, less protruding, upper endlink will give more clearance.

A different length endlink may give you more clearance at the control arm/sway bar side.

we have the same problem on our race car with RCE tarmac2 (KW) and stock end link. We had to grind as much material as possible on the endlink so it doesn't touch the body of the car. They have been holding on fine so far for the whole season.

I'm hitting on both sides I think. And I'm going to a shorter and lower profile setup. Will post after it works. I didn't buy off the shelf frs stuff.

My street tires wore even at -3 with daily driving. That's why I decided to go further.

how much lower than stock are you guys?

e1_griego · 11-20-2015, 02:36 AM

Maybe 1.5"? I'm honestly not sure.

lukey86 · 11-20-2015, 03:32 AM

I had the same problem. Ran max low and max camber and rubbed.I was too lazy to fix it properly so I ended up taking to that part of the body with a ball pein hammer

you can't notice it from inside the engine bay. As to whether you rub or not is usually determined by what coils/endlinks you have. Some coil manufacturers offer camber and height adjustibility without taking into account how this may affect the endlinks. The ones who do set their mounts a little further forward. Getting adjustable endlinks CAN help, but it depends mainly on the profile of the knuckle joint. The standard ones stick out quite alot whereas some aftermarket ones have smaller more compact knuckles.
