Need help adjusting my ride height......

Hey everyone, ok here is the situation. I have tockico blue shocks with h&r springs, now my back tires rub and I was wondering what would be the best thing to do, I want my camber to be set to 0, so letting it lean isnt an option. Ok I was looking at skunk2 adjustable springs

and I saw how it has that adjustable part that allows for you to raise/lower it by just turning the spindle....is there anyway I could just buy this part....or could I buy something bootleg like this off the net with the adjuster and just use the adjuster and my current springs? Also do you think the adjuster will fit my springs currently installed and how crappy do you think the quality of the adjuster will be with this deal? Thanks.

or possibly get a little better brand and still just use the adjuster...like these obx ones

Even if you raise the car with coilovers, what happens when you go over bumps, it still might rub when you go over bumps. Throw your idea out the window.

What tire size are you running?? 215's I bet.
What's your tire offset??

I say either add negative camber, or change your tires (tire size)/rims (better offset).

I had the 215/35 before but I put the right size on, 215/40 and there rubbing on the side....if I raise it enough it will not rub(plus I already shaved my entire lip off so it wouldnt rub but it still does....its sagging in the back and the mooment because I have a very big system in the back thats weighing it down, I dont want to have any negative camber because I really dont feel like messing up my tires.....
