I'm thinking I may still need fender rolling...
Maybe I'll just try to adjust the rear camber myself by loosening the strut tops and (through trial and error) adjust the camber by just pushing on the wheel and retightening everything up, until the tires don't rub the chassis or the fenders. Then I'll just have Sid check to make sure the camber is even enough on both sides. Hopefully it is and I won't have to roll my fenders...

I've seen a lot of conflicting info on how much adjustment the stock bolts allow. I've seen .75 degrees and I've seen 1.5 degrees. The Eibach's allow 1 degree. Since I have the OE bolts on order, I could compare them side by side to see if I can tell by looking at them.
