Hate to break it to you but there is no alignment remedy for this. You have to compromise and raise the car. Your slammed. You cant have the tire buried inside the fender and expect it not to hit when you turn the wheel. You need a good finger gap up front to be functional at its lowest, which looks to be raising it about 25mm in your case. Which is still near 2" drop. Your dropped near 3"! Your probably bump steering all over the place and have no suspension travel for bumps in the road. I cant imagine your car handles very well like this.

like above alightment wont solve jack. Either roll it so its completely flat and then flare it a bit (good luck) or go wider fenders...

Another option is to raise it up.

I have KWV3's and my suspension is set too pretty stiff, a 180lbs passenger can hop in there and it barely drops any. So when i go over bump i don't have bump steer lol, i will eventually get anti-bump steer kits in mainly in the rear before i do another alignment. But iv'e seen other people lower than me with a S2000 or just about as low and they steer just fine. So their has to be a way around it without me lifting the car back up. But that is not SLAMMED, this is slammed

So what you're saying is that if i add another degree of negative camber too the front it won't clear that when its barely touching now? and you're also saying that i have to go up another inch in the front when i only lowered 1/2 an inch in the front and it was fully functional before that LOL

As others said the alignment won't fix this. You can flare your fenders more so it touches later i.e. After the wheel is turned more. Your slammed. The car you used as an example is either bagged or has some other way of raising. Increasing your camber may help a tiny bit but really won't do much. You can always make 30 point turns.
