So the ATS is a 1" drop spindle and it along with the new brake package moved my wheel out about a .25". These two changes created tire into fender issues with the same ride height as before.

I tried about 6 different ways of alleviating the tire rubs but the ones that kept the fender off the tire, also made it push like a dump truck. I finally put a real nice set of adjustable bump stops on the coil overs that let me set the geometry and ride height exactly as I had it before, but stopped the shock before the tire hit the fender.

The tire rub was one of those things that was fine on the street, but once driven in anger on course, became quite the issue. Was super happy to finally get it dialed back in, I hate driving a car that pushes...
