HR springs, koni's, ARC8s 235/40 and vorshlags

I just put 255/35's on the rear and 235/40's for the front, plus a set of H&R springs with Koni sports. vorshlags have been on the car for 3 years. Everything looks great, front drop is low, but acceptable, if it were not for the rubbing. The fronts rub when the car turns a little, or a lot, especially when backing out of my driveway or turning left or right from a stop sign.

My camber was at -1.4 or so. To see if the rubs would stop, I dumped the camber plates to max on driver side and a little bit on passenger side to see if it would help. Driver side is definitely better, but seems especiially worrisome if I track the car.

I'd like to keep the 235's, they look good on the car and give me the f/r ratio i'm looking for when I track it later this summer.

Question is, what's the best course of action? I think the simplest option is to max the camber, realign and live with it. But, would opting for a less aggressive spring, like an Eibach or BMW performance on the front of the car help?






Overexposed this one, so the drop is very visible:

i maxed out the camber on both sides by unscientifically slamming the plates to their max setting. Now there's almost no rub :-) no idea how much camber there is there now, i'll find out soon enough.
