[s-cars] Front tires rubbing

Thanks for all your input.
I wasn't aware of the ABT/Eibach sagging spring issue! These are from an
ABT/Eibach kit.
My front height from the ground to the wheel arches are: left side 25 1/2
and right side 25 3/16 inch, car empty, air pressure same both sides. I
assume that it will level out when I sit in the car, but haven't made that
measurement yet.
How does this compare with other setups?

You are correct that the rubbing occurs on the fender liner, and for the
most part on the outside corner of the tire, so a reduction in diameter will
help to some degree, but it will only get worse with more camber.
