Guys I tried rolling the lip and hammering it but I think that the lip is made of bondo too so how do I fix that?

Slam the s*** on coilovers, itll make your camber negative enuff, that fixes your problem :P

The camber will be the same. The suspension compressing over bumps will change the camber just as lowering the car would. He will need to roll that lip either way.

The lip is not made of bondo... if it were you would have broken while trying to hammer it.

I know that the lip is bondo because I hit up all the metal already and when I hit the bondo with the hammer I barely hit it and thats why it didn't crack.
I've already watched that video like 4 times.. I could prolly do the fender lip roll on my driver side quarter panel because its all factory

u could get adjustable arms and camber it in but its not high on my list of fixes imo tho it will stop it. u could try a stiffer spring/strutt combo or coilovers like u suggested at the start of the thread and reduce suspension compression and that would solve the problem. ive never been a big gr2 fan but they work great for some ppl, for a strutt ive always liked agx's... otherwise coilovers. u could let a body shop roll the fenders and if they screw anything up they gotta fix it.

You know what needs to be done. Do it or continue rubbing.
