Default can't lower car because camber kit hits. What kind of springs should I use.

Ok when I bought the car it was too low and camber was way off. Hundreds of dollars later the camber is fixed but the new lowering springs aren't low enough. They're Lexani springs by the way. I'm just afraid if I buy some new springs its going to be too low and the camber kit is going to start hitting even worse than it already is. Here is a pic, the front is alright but the back is the major problem. I don't really want to touch the front. It already makes a clunk when I stop hard, probably from the camber kit.

Are you zeroing out your camber? There is no reason to.

-2 degrees is perfectly fine, anything more than that is a bit much.

Toe is what kills tires...

Clunks aren't necessarily from a camber kit... Check for loose nuts and bolts, and you might have a blown strut... Do you see dings in the fenderwells from where the camber kit is hitting? If you dont, it probably isn't...

I haven't checked for dings yet. The guy that installed the camber kit said that he was going to put the camer to factory specs. whatever that is.

Camber kits push the upper control arm out to correct negative camber. If pushed out too far it will hit the inner fender. So to corroect this either dent the inner dender till it clears or nothch it out so that the arm will clear. It doesnt take much. I did it on my CRX.

Skunk2's are prone to hitting the inner fender strut mount at certain drop.
