Question for those with spacers

Once you drop it, the negative camber will give you additional room...
A mild drop should camber them about 5mm, and more aggressive drop will get you around 10mm extra space. Hope that makes sense!

I have stock wheels on a 1.3" drop (TOO low; am dialing it up) and it rubs like a belt sander.
I have stock wheels with 20mm spacers in the front and 25mm in the rear. With an ET32 offset, this means that I have offsets of 12 and 7, respectively. The front rubs like crazy and I have negative camber to a ghetto degree (alignment once the thing settles in). I think the rubbing is the fender liner *only,* and not the fender itself (have yet to fully confirm, though). The rear seems okay so far WRT rubbing and camber. I need to raise the ride height and maybe to back-off the front spacers by 5-7mm. The wheel tuck in this setup, however, is just f'n <b>beautiful</b>. Right up to the lip of the fender, and the tread hides inside the fender well. I'll takes some pictures before I make the adjustments to conform with STaSIS' specs (and to raise the ride height).
These are STaSIS Ohlins, by the way, which are fantastic products. The rubbing and ride height issues are entirely because I have aggressive spacers, not because of the kit. I didn't bother to really adjust the ride heights to spec b/c it was so late when I finished the install that I just wanted to get it on the road.

Actually, both cars have spacers. My car has the stock wheels & the BBK. Roswells car
has the 20' after market wheels, but he has spacers also. The picture in the parking lot is my car and has the spacers on. The pictures at the WDS don't have the spacers on. Rob
