What do the camber readings look like??
You can buy home use guage for cheap as a ~roof incline guage~ at hardware stores
Simply place against the center of the wheel and it tells you the degrees off vertical you are
Also measure from the center of the wheel to the fender edge- side to side differance will off weight the car and throw more camber at the heavy side.
Do this front side to side and same for the rear clearance.
The rear camber is most affected by a drop in height. Neg 1 degree is max spec limit for most of us (check your specs) so up to about neg 1.5 and you wont cook the tires
Beyond that, and for tuck the wheels inside the fender drop crowd- rear camber kits are in order.
At least you can match the camber front to rear that way and equally wear the tires

because the screw-pin on the left wasn't making it through when the far left push-pin and far right screw-pin were latched.

lol Kiran... hush.. 
Thanks Trung, yah.. we should definitely find some 2G WDP TL's and have a photoshoot like Donald.
Autowork's: The Ksports are a bit on the firm side.. still getting used to bouncing around but overall, its not too bad as some ppl say. The fronts are set all the way to the softest and the rears are set to mid... the softest damper setting is pretty soft, but not as soft as the TEIN SS's would be.

jimmiexiong : Scroll up a couple posts and you'll find your answer. This is a forum, you'll need to learn to read ppl's posts. I'm on Ksports.
Max Boost : 19x7.5" ADR Battle Axe (Gunmetal) w/Machined Lip ..looked a bit odd on my car, so I'm going w/a different set of wheels.

How bad do you rub?! I have 19" on my TL-S and I was rubbing hard, and I still rubbed alittle bit after I had my fenders rolled by the pros.
