Strange...my traction bar doesn't rub under full lock. Or does it, maybe I should go check that.

Had the alignment this morning at Acura. Running -1.5 camber all around, will see how this goes. Some creeking in the front only when i brake that I have to track down, already tightened all the bolts, and double checked them all. Other than that, the car runs great! Been driving it around for two days

I think you'll like a little camber. It really does benefit the handling, even on a street car.
I noticed it handled different. Steering through turns was not only easier but fun. It takes less effort to handle the car now.
Sunday I went for a 3 hour long car cruise with a car group. The car did well. I blew a coupler off the intake under high boost, but that was an easy fix. I was also rubbing the tire on the rear drivers side and was not sure why. Once I got home I realized the fender stuck out a weird way inside the wheel well compared to the other side. So I grinded that down. Going to get a body shop to look into this for me. The tire is ok though

I like simple odd number spoke wheels on these cars. Good choice in wheels.*** Think of others before thinking of yourself. ***

After going back through the pics, i think the only stock piece left on your car is the shift knob! haha

But I will admit I'm not that happy with the suspension setup on the car. Currently running:
- Tein Super Streets (set to stiffest dampener)
- SPC +/-3.0 front camber kit
- Ingal rear camber kit
- 215/40/17 on 17" rim +38 offset
- camber = -1.5 all around
- new bushings all around
- new lower control arms all around
- ESP front traction bar
And........ , I'm still hitting like a bitch. On a smooth road its great! But on a patched, bumpy, dips, etc. on the road the car sucks. The front UCAs hit, the rear tires rub, and the new bushings are not forgiving at all. Yesterday I noticed alot of brake dust or tire dust on the front rims. So I think they may be rubbing as well. The tires also rub on the traction bar when doing a full turn.
Sooooo the plan to fix all this is:
- Do a fender roll on all 4 corners
- Also have a body shop cut and cap the top front fenders so the UCA does not hit
IF......, If I still have issues after this then I will swap the springs out for a stiffer spring.
