Default Tire rubbing, will camber kit stop it?

I have a 96 ek hatch on ksports, car is lowered a decent amount and i have negative camber. Im running a 195-50-15 tire and when i hit dips in the road or bumps the right tire rubs the inside of the wheel. Will adding a camber kit and straighting the negative camber stop this?

yes a camber kit will help but you should just save money and raise it up a bit..

Sure your springs and shocks are good? You could try rolling your fenders.

Camber kits are overrated. Unless you're slammed, just correct the toe and leave the slight neg camber.

u think the camber kit is guna help the tire may not hit any more but the camber kit is guna be smashing yur shock tower, and you'll lose suspension which u need since yur lowered a decent amount just raise it up, or dont complain

lol it already smashes the strut tower, who said i was complaining? Id rather have the tire rub here and there, rather then raise it up. Ive put up with it for over a year. If i can fix it, ill fix it, if not ill deal with it.

?? he'd want more neg camber to make sure the tires didn't rub the fenders.

Your problem is that you're too low. Try stiffening up the shocks.

Where exactly is it rubbing? Inner fender liner? outer fender liner? upper fender liner?
