Rubbing issues......

C MY 4D · June 4th, 2008, 12:33 AM

So last week I made it out to the first autocross since all of the suspension mods have been done. On the third run the passenger front tire ripped the ABS wire and quickly removed my inner fender. Later on I also noticed the rims are rubbing the sway bar at full lock. Currently the front suspension has....
H&R Race springs
MM Caster camber plates
1.8 degrees of camber
5.7 degrees of caster
Stock 17x9 rims with 275 Hoosier cup tires (can't beat them for $40 ea.)

I am pretty sure the only way to resolve the inner fender rub is to use spacers but am looking for other options. As for rubbing the sway bar I'm thinking Steeda's X2 balljoints may rotate the sway bar enough to clear. Has anyone came across this before?
