The reports have not been of a-arm rubbing, but of fender liner/engine bay rubbing, and it seems the more neg camber contributes to that.
Anyone can check this by jacking up the front end and turning the wheels to lock either direction. Luckily this situation shouldn't happen very often but the possibility is there to screw up the wheels pretty bad if it does.

Typical if people aren't running enough spring rate or are too low. You can do the same thing on the stock wheels and tires.

So I just finished reading through this thread for the second time. Looking forward to running STR next year! We will see how the Bridgestones fair on an S2000.

I just got a S2k a month and a half ago (upgraded from a RSX Type-S) and autocrossed it twice so I can't really contribute much to this thread but just wanted to thank everyone for sharing their information. On that note, I just wanted to share that I'm running 17x8.5 OZ Allegeritas +63 offset with 255/40/17 star specs all around with maxed out front camber and rolled fenders and I have no rub anywhere.

Lucky for you - you'll never be at full droop on the street or autox course - only in your garage on jack stands
Admittedly, the chances of being at full lock at that time are quite small.

Full droop is not unexpected for me.

Does the most recent shock build incorporate droop stops?
