suspension concern, PLEASE HELP

ok guys, so i recently dropped my car on eibach sportline springs, and the back tires look like this / \. I was told that I should get a camber kit to straightened them up, however my mechaninc said that if there was a way of getting the back tires to look even again like this l l then the tires will rub the body or fender, because as they are now they already look underneath the fender, but i was wondering that if i do that camber think, the ride will somehow be picked up for the wheel not to rub the fender. the was it looks now is like if the fender was on top of the wheel and the wheel is looking like this / \. This is how close the tire is from the fender, but sunk in from the top: http://www.pistonheads.com/pics/news...type-r-4-L.jpg

Re: suspension concern, PLEASE HELP

I don't have youtube at work either. Can you see this link. Basically, there's a little lip on the inside of the rear wheel fender and if you can roll that essentially you should have more clearance. People use a baseball bat or special tools, but my buddy used a bat and had no issues with paint cracking or anything like that.

Re: suspension concern, PLEASE HELP

Absolutely recommend that so you can save your tires. Don't think control arms are necessary though unless your rims are much wider or your factory ones are shot.

Dude. Yes. Get a camber kit. Right now. Unless you like buying tires.
