Swift springs 15/20mm spacers rubbing

The full alignment kit from SPC includes front camber/caster adjustment arms. Wouldn't that be of any help in this instance since the OP mentioned that he needs a very slight adjustment?

SPC Alignment Kit

My auto spell checker on my new phone is so much crazier than my iphone haha. I personally don't trust the spc camber kit, I think it is held only by one bolt and nut. It should be held down with 4 bolts. I think ddmotorsport said his would come loose while tracking his car. I guess it would be fine for street use, maybe.

Thanks for any help.
You can bend the little nubs up a little without harming anything. The plastic nubs attach to little metal nubs that can be bend up slightly. This help a little for my case. But I have coilovers so I can make many different adjustments to help.

The SPC kit could be better. I could see it moving some under hard track days. But should hold up well if tightened properly. But I do trust the kit. I've owned two now and it's been good to me from alignment to alignment. And I do push the car hard. No track days yet on this car though.
