Thumbs up Need advice on alignment

Hi,

I'm lowered my car with Swift springs a week ago. Now front and rear are rubbing a bit on even not very heavy bump. Last time I did alignment was a year ago and I remember rear camber was 1.5 and front was 0.6-0.8 or something like that.

the car sits on SSR Type-C 17x8 +48 front and 17x9 +55 rear and tires are RE01-R 225/45 front and 255/40 rear

Before lowering only rears were rubbing a little bit on very heavy bumps, so I didn't bother myself about it.

Right now I'm going to realign everything.
Will UK spec alignment(camber settings) eliminate this issue? or should I go with a bit more agressive like front-2 rear-2.5 ??

Swift Sport Mach springs lower the car I believe 0.8'' front and 1'' rear.

And I really don't want to roll the fenders...

Please advice

Roll the fender. What's the big deal? I've done four S2000's so far, it only takes like an hour.

I have 245 RE-01R's out back on a 9" +44 wheel with about a 1.5 to 2 finger gap and needed to relocate the bumper bolt and shave the tab off, AFTER running -2* camber and rolling the fender.

If you're going to track the car and are looking for an aggressive alignment, then go for it, otherwise I really recommend rolling the fenders and going for a standard UK alignment.
