When I first put the springs on this car many years ago, the car did have a rake to it. it was fine w/ the 16" Pony rims at the time. Now that I have the 17" 99 Cobra rims though, the front rubs like a S.O.B. The edge of the tire is rubbing on the fender itself. Every bump in the road, on full lock turns, and ALL the time when braking. The conversion was done w/ '95 spindles, '95 ball joints (no spacer needed) & stock everything else.

Passenger side:
Now, it still needs an alignment after C/C plates but it seems like the only way to get away from this is to put an insane amount of camber on there. Not exactly what I want to do. Hell, I don't know if enough CAN be put on there.
Is this a typical thing w/ FMS C Springs? Do I just need to go to a different spring setup or is there something wrong here?
Oh...and the back rides like this:
Yes, I know I need to adjust my proportioning valve...actually did it after I noticed how the rear brakes were barely being used.
