Hate to pass the buck, but Finagle69 would probably be the best person to give you advise as he is on coilovers and can tell you how much of a problem it is being that low. I am on Eibachs and it may be ok with correctly designed bump stops to get rid of the metal-to-metal contact, but it really seems like they are going to have to redesign to take advantage of the recess in the fender to give some more clearance. Even then I think those on coilovers are going to need bump stops unless there is something else in the overall suspension that prevents that much upward movement. At a minimum, I would not install until we hear what the solution is going to be from SPC.

Sorry dude. I started this thread a few hours after I installed and found out what was causing it. Dont worry tho, SPC will redesign and send out new arms to customers. I talked to SPC tech and they recommended the bump stops, but I quickly replied saying this is a design flaw and they would have to be redesigned. I'll be in contact with them tomorow, so I'll pass along what ever info I have.

Keep the arms for now. When the new design comes out, you'll be sent the new ones. Im at 25.375 from ground to fender apex and it rubs going over even small bumps.

Alignment will not help front camber as there is no adjustment. I am on Eibach and front camber was -1.3 and -1.7 after drop and max spec is -1.17 so you are right about being close especially on one side. I just did not like the looks that much so put the arms in to get close to nominal setting of -0.42.
With new arms I am now at about -0.3 on both sides with manual measurement. Going to get an alignment to be sure and then I need to get the steering wheel reset to center.

Blackjack, If you care to hear my advice, I'd say keep the product for now but do not install it.
I'm about to (or fixin to if you're in the south) contact SPC to let them know my findings with the bump stops they provided. Eddit @ THM has also been in contact with SPC, so I'd expect a redesigned product.

Update: Just spoke to Jeff @ SPC, they are looking into this issue right now to determine how to fix the problem. They are looking into temp fixes, as well as long term fix (possible re-design) if need be. I will be in contact w him regulary so any new news, I will pass over.
