When the car was this low in the back, It wouldn't rub on regular street driving but would rub in the back like crazy in canyon runs. I raised it a tad in the rear(2 revolutions) and can now carve canyons without rubbing. Front was left the same.
I am on KW V3 Coilovers...
-1.7 camber in the front
-3.3 camber in the rear
I backed off a bit on the alignment to get it to handle a bit better and to get that fully flush look.
Current revised alignment...
-1.5 camber in the front
-3.0 camber in the rear
Car handles better with this setup and the tires are flush with the body all around...
Side note...When I look into my driverside mirror(I have a blindspot fish eye mirrors) I can see my rear tire moving and it looks hella aggressive.
I'll take pics today or tomorrow of the revised ride height with less negative camber in the next couple of days(good thing I washed the car yesterday ) .

It looks hella good! But you must go through tires like coo coo?! Still love it nonetheless! I guess you can't have it all.
Not really...I make sure my alignment guy leaves the toe at 0...My last set of Re-11's lasted me around 8 thousand miles...But they're Re-11's(Don't expect them to last long, regardless).
I know...I need to pay my bills and save up a bit so I can get an oem lip and diffuser/lip protector at the same time. Maybe those downforce c/f sideskirts as well. All I need is $1500 or so...That's not including painting the sideskirts. But I suppose that when I pant those sideskirts I'll paint the HT as well and try to get a package deal.

Here we go, as promised, new pics of the S with the rear raised a bit so I don't rub on the fender on canyon runs...Enjoy!
