Wrong forum.

A little bit of rub is fine as long as you can live with the fact that the softer of the two parts rubbing will wear away until they no longer rub.

Get an Ingalls rear camber kit.

Your car is clearly too low for good handling, but that's not the point here.

Was it just the avatar?
I don't suppose that is a Porsche tractor, or a Lamborghini ...

You can get a 1/2 degree or so of positive camber in the rears with some washers.

Perhaps you are right - it has been so long since I did mine that I can't remember. I recall using two stainless steel washers on each of the two bolts on each side and getting about 1/2 degree.
