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...

Always wondered if yours rubbed. The G-body I'm working on has 25" tall fronts that are currently relatively narrow. They don't rub the fender lip but do buzz the top of the inner well. I know these cars face limitations when low & wanting them to stick (w/wider wheels/tires) hence my previous questions on your thread about back-spacing. It is currently a little lower than I feel it should be because of the spindles.
I've had the ATS/X spindle on my radar for a while now but that buy-in is a tough one for a car that's strictly for spirited public driving. There's a new option coming down the pipeline that's similar yet different (much improved camber curve, various drop options, & cheaper but heavier than the ATS). That easier buy in allows $$ for adding the C/O's.
