Had struts/springs installed. They're rubbing. Do I need a camber kit?
Have a 92 cx. Had AGX struts and Eibach Pro springs installed. Going over bumps at a "good speed" would induce some metallic scraping. I was worried it was my exhaust (thermal). When I got it up on a lift today, I saw that the upper control arms are in contact with the springs (hence the scraping). How could I correct this? Do I definitely need a camber kit or is there some other way to adjust this? If I do need a kit, are there any that are recommended?
thanks
thanks

How low is your civic?.......usually anything over 2" definitely needs a camber kit. I've heard good things about the Skunk2 set, you could also find it for a good price if you search. Hopefully that solves your problem.

I think the eibach pro kit lowers the car 1.5" Pretty sure it isn't lower than that.

Then a camber kit isn't really needed but I'd recommend one anyhow (tire wear). As far as the grinding, check your bushings, or maybe the settings of your kyb's, I've had a similar problem with my driver side front wheel, where it would scrape but only when I turned, turned out to be the bushings needed to be replaced, not that it would help but that's all I could think of for now.
