Default Suspension trouble!?!?!?!

Ok...I am having a bit trouble with my suspension like it says, and I currently have stock struts and some general no name springs(I know what ur thinking) and they are a little old but until i get new ones they are fine for now...my problem is, recently I got some newer springs from, a buddy that go to an eclipse. I figured that the springs would not work but i tried them along with the sleeves anyway....they were too short..so i thought. well after putting my old coilovers back on and just using the longer sleeves from the set from a friend, I lowered it where i wanted it and it still felt like it was bottoming out.I eventually got home and had a friend push on the fender and saw that the upper control arm(U shaped thing) was hitting the inside of the fenderat the top!?!?!?! I have no idea how this is happening and I am gonna put the old sleeves back on tomorrow unless someone know anything about this.. Please help me cuz this ride really sucks!
Thanks,
Tony I also have some parts from a crx for sale if anyone needs anything...402-208-4061

i guess i can help
i got coiovers....
yesterday i took it for aligment
well when i install the ingalls camber kit, i noticed trhat the upper A arm was hitting my fender as well if i corrected my camber...
well when i took it for aligment they had to actually cut the inner fender where they meet in order to have some clearance for the a arms so they can go back up....
that happens if u have correct camber. if u go to -2or -3 deg of camber it will not hit. but it will eat ur tires up!
