Default control arm bullshit

well my cars at the tire shop right now because the ball joint popped out. they put it back in but they're raising my car because its "too low". the control arms all gettin hung up in the fender still. what the **** can i do about this? i dont want to roll stock height. it looks gay as ****.
i guess maybe cutting the control arm but i don't really want to take off my control arm and **** up my alignment and shit.
does anyone have the spc aftermarket control arms with the offset ball joint and/or the adjustable rear control arms?
i'm just ****in tired of all this shit. i get all my shit aligned and then a couple days later this happens. who knows how much this is gonna cost
i guess i'm just pissed because here i am paying money to have my ****ing car raised up again? **** that. i could've done this myself. they said i'll ahve to take it to a body shop to get them to cut out the fender and shit where its getting hung up.
:madfawk: :madfawk: :madfawk: :madfawk: :madfawk: :madfawk: **** this. i didn't spend 750 on coilovers and then probably another 300 on alignment and other shit to have my car at stock height with rougher riding suspension (i mean it handles great but as for the ride compared to stock, you know its not as good)

easy there big boy. i had the same problem, but i fixed it by hammering out the inside fender and lip part, and shaving down my control arm edge. also, don't have 0 degree camber. have some negative camber, but no more than .5 degrees. i fixed all mine after mine popped out too. i bought a new control arm, shaved it with the bench grinder, then had it aligned with some negative camber. i have no probs now.
