Default Front camber kit problems

Ok, well i bought a front camber kit off of ebay for my EF. Installed the kit right. Played with the adjustments and had it adjusted all the way out and the UCA hits the wheels well. Has anyone else had this problem? If so what did you do to fix it?

Yes this a normal problem. This is why I never tell people to buy camber kits. It is a MAJOR concern if you are pretty low, and that is usually when people buy camber kits in the first place...

I've driven my car lowered 3" for years now w/ no camber adjustments, and I've never impacted my shock towers. I recently raised up 1/2" to get some travel back, and the car rides great. All you need is a 4-wheel alignment and your tires will survive for a VERY long time. Camber kits are teh suck...

i have holes in my shock tower too.. i'm thinkin about shaving just a little of it so it gives the arm and the shock tower more clearance.. anyone think that would be safe??

Normally I would say yes just get an alignment. But if your really really low, it may not completely eliminate inner edge wear...
