Default SUspension setup guys!!!!

Alrighty.....so apparently lowering youre ride causes a Sh1tload of drama and uneccessary worrying. Friggen negative camber wear, struts bottoming out, and when you try to fix the camber.... nutin but the D R A M A. So yes besides the point i have Neuspeed sports, KYB GR2s, and both ingalls and spc ball joint camber kits but niether are installed. The ingalls was a complete NO NO because the upper control arm was clipping the fender edge then rubbed on the inner fender. I was so freaked out and annoyed by the noise that i took it out and ordered the spc ball joint. From what i read on this forum, there werent supposed to be any complications.....OH BOY WAS I WRONG. When i got em installed, even more banging was going on. it turns out that the bolt on top of the camber kit was too high and it was hitting the top of the fender.... and pretty harshly too. From under the hood, i could see the metal being pushed up!!! so yeah, currently i have no camber kit but extremely bad tired wear so yep, im trying to kind a good setup without unlowering my baby. anyone out there have neuspeed sports and spc ball joint combo that works??? PLEASE REPLY!!!!!!!!!

I'm also looking for a solution. I have a SPC Anchor Bolt Camber kit and the upper control arm bangs against the inner fender. I thought about using a ball joint but after reading your post i'm not sure.

Is it impossible for us to have 0 camber?

dude calm down, the one thing that sucks about accords is skunk2 hasn't come out with an adjustable UCA like they have for the civics and integras. what i did, and btw i have H&R and KYB AGX, is used the ingalls camber kit, when i put it in i noticed the same thing, so i just took a ****in hammer and beat the crap out of the inside of the fender wall, that didn't work, so i sanded down the UCA a little, bad idea yes, but a new Control arm is way less than tires!

its not even the UCA at this point, its the friggen Ball Joint Nut that extends like 3/4 inch above the UCA. Im freiggen scared that if i bo bang or but the top section out, that it might interfere with the hood alignment. wont the metal sectuion that you bang out touch the hood? Oh BTW shouldi get AGX's or stiffer shocks to help the problem?

also, if i cut a hole in the top section of my fender, will it sacrifice the structural integrity of the car. Even worse, will the top bolt go right through and start banging on my hood?????
