it will work, just don't go too low and max out camber. Fenders are fine, but have experienced some runbing on the front fender liner, no big deal for me.

If it’s rubbing the liner by the fender arch it is a concern. Once it gets through the liner or run a bad enough it will catch the fender. Ride hieght is important here since the lower you go the more this becomes an issue so as long as you keep the drop within reason you can be ok. Still need to be careful of places where the wheels are turned and suspension is compressed.

^ In a full lock, compression situation such as a spin or a tight turn up a driveway/turn-in, there's a possibility of fender contact. At full lock, there is also the possibility of tire contact on the lower suspension arm.

It is the inside tire that is rubbing the liner. Has made a small hole and rubbing on the chassis but doesn't bother me. No issues with outer fender or liner (you can see very mild rubbing). Will try to take pics. Multiple track days and dragon trips. 255 re71r

This is the STR autocross size. It needs stiffer springs and 3 or more degrees negative camber in the front. It might still rub the liner in places.
