Aggressive Wheel Fitment Thread

Worked out some kinks today:
Adjusted the stiffness of the suspension. The fronts were at around 11/16 and we put them to 16/16, but the rears..... The rears were at 1/16!!! No wonder my wheels were slamming into the fender! I put them to 16/16 and surprisingly the ride is much better at full stiff all around.
My friend (when following in another car) said the rear still tucks all the way on bumps but I don't hear the wheel slamming into the fender as much.
Still need to work out some minor kinks but at least it's drivable again.
Oh, my camber is now at:
-3.97 -4.00
-4.28 -4.29
I don't know how you got the rear to -5+, cause mine maxed at -4.8ish...

he's one of the few guys in socal that will align a dumped car hahah. apparently he's THE go to guy if you're in the fitment scene. he's done it all. i guess it's like a "since i'm the only one that does it, everyone has to come to me" kind of thing. i don't blame him hahah. more customers for him 
here's the sheet if anyone was interested

Some old guy owns this hole in the wall alignment place downhere in the 626 and he built his own rig to align dumped cars hahah he's supposed to be real good. Lots of good reviews on yelp and stuff but I forgot their name. And then you can always go to wheelhouse, which is also in the 626. Looks like you're coming to the 626 hahah!

Someone has to explain to me how tiltmode does it:
I have about the same poke in the rear but when I hit a bump, my tire and wheel tucks into the fender and bangs the top. I'm even running thinner tires than he is. Coilover stiffness is set to 16/16 as well...
What should I be looking at to fix this problem before I seriously damage a wheel?
