i think its fairly simple, there isnt enough adjhustment to compensate for 
lowering the car that much adn the tops of the tires are a little too close 
together... i dont know why yours is blessed so.. you could call the 2B 
boys, im sure they would know. they told me in no uncertain terms that low 
5000s need camber help. maybe your alignment guy is a superstar? =) or the 
86's are a  alittle different?

i have bilstein sport on the front, i wanted to match the f+r as close as 
possible. mine are just shy of full blast. i also thought that stiff int he 
back might help counter understeer.
