I just recently got new tires, and now my back tires both rub constently, i have eibach sportline springs and tokiko illumina shocks, is there a way to adjust them? or what shoudl i do, im a newb =P
 
I rolled my rear fenders before doing that, but I still didn't like the clearance. If you put GSX shocks on the rear of your GST, you'll get a little more room. Make sure you take that spare tire out ;)

Camber kits help to make your ties lay flat
Stupid example: l l

It helps your tires have the life they should, so they dont wear unevenly, and premature. They certainly aren't bad for your suspension, and are more than likely needed with your sportline drop.

Lowering creates negative camber /--\ Correcting it brings the wheels closer to the fenders. His problem is most likely caused by wheel and tire size that is not appropriate for the car.
 
sounds like i need my fenders rolled, i have 18'' rims, its just the sharp part on the inside of the fender thats rubbing my tire every bump, its starting to dig into the tire also. how i do i roll my fenders? just bend them?
