Default 95 EX 2DR upper control arm hitting wheel well

we just lowered my friends civic and we used adjustable upper ball joints for the camber and now when ever he hits a bump the upper control arm its smacking the top of the fender well. any sugesstions ? i told him that we might have to raise the front up a little. thanks danny

It's either that or get stiffer front springs. Definitely want to fix that soon because it will cause weird handling characteristics because instead of the suspension being pliable when the upper ball joint hits the fenderwell the car is not compliant anymore and you the car will lose grip quick.
