Uneven drop?
Having recently picked up some new wheels (upgrade from stock) I noticed that on especially nasty bumps the front passenger side tire would rub on the fender well or even the edge of the fender (at least that's what I think is happening, it sure sounds like it, hard to see while I'm driving). After I looked at that corner, I noticed that it's got more of a drop than any other corner (1 finger gap as opposed to 2). Is this a problem with the springs, or something more serious, or even worth worrying about? I'm using Neuspeed Sport springs and KYB GR-2 shocks + struts, along with a skunk2 camber kit.
You can remove your springs and check the free length. Remember that weight is not evenly distributed front/rear or left/right so the static compression of one spring is definitely different than another. Whether you can measure it is a different story.
Also, if your car is slammed, then I would check the Skunk2 kit. If you are very low and attempting to zero your camber then you will have issues with the A-arm hitting the fender. Raise the car or deal with more negative camber.

It's only supposed to be a 1.5-1.75" drop, these are the sport springs, the Skunk2 kit is just in there as a precaution, I've been told I don't even need them but I'm paranoid
So I don't think its the kit, especially since I just had an alignment 2 weeks ago and I was only off 0.3 in toe (on both sides).
