Default wheel rub problem

i've got an 88 EF with a B18B1 with 14" CRX Si wheels on the front with 195/60/14 tires. i just got the car about three weeks ago but recently (as in, a week or so) the front wheels have started to rub. the car is lowered on kyb shocks/struts and skunk2 springs so i can't raise it up to see if that helps.

the camber is maad negative. from what little i can see with a flashlight, i can't tell when the car is sitting still what the wheels are rubbing on. when you push the car, you can hear the wheels rubbing but not what on. do you think they are rubbing because of the camber? any help appreciated

ps. it is the front wheels rubbing, not the back ones

i have already jacked it up and looked and i see some places that look rubbed, but when i set it back down, the tires arent touching them, so those places only get rubbed in turns, not straight driving.

i'll trade you coil overs for springs

i got cheap coilovers on the front and sportline springs on the rear...if you want to trade springs for springs since mines might be a little bit higher than yours...i dont know the drop but this is the way they look on my car when i had all 4 of them on...!!!
