Default Les Schwab Lowering Rear Tire Rub

I had les Schwab do a full lowering and camber kit both front and rear on a 91 rex was a eibach lowering springs 1.5 inch from stock drop. now when it was first done the rear didnt rub at all now almost 2 years later the rear is sagging a bit. The tire rubs when cornering harder than normal on the fender well inside. Any advice or instruction? Need new springs? raise it? flare the fenders?

only thing i can suggest is adjust the camber? or take it back and have them look at it? or realize that lowered + 17's + hella hard cornering don't work together, and go down to 16's
