Default updates**on IS350 front camber kit/s

hello yall'
long time member but still a noob at this topic. i have done some research on is350 front cambers and i have found some really good information about 1 or + ago. after reading up some posts and comments, i have decided to go with megan front camber arms to fix my inner tires wearing. recieved it and got it installed at the same drop (around a finger gap) and now im having this problem with the camber arms hitting against the upper stock tower which i was already aware of but didn't know it was going to be that bad. so ive decided to go up half an inch, yet it is still the same BANG BANG over a small hole. now, im plan on returning the arms.
here are few questions for ya Cl members of which other options i have due to date to 1)fix inner wearing. 2) camber kit that i can avoid the stock tower banging. 3) lastly, what do you guys use for this drop?

thanks yall.
PS. don't kill me over a noob question because this problem is really annoying since this is my daily car.

How low are you? I've only hit my factory UCAs against the shock towers on VERY bad bumps/holes.

a little less than a finger gap between fender and tire. my oem UCAs were great but the alignment tend to be off really quick and that is the only thing why i decided to get megan front arms. but now i realized it was a bad idea. with megan arms, once i drive over a small hole, my front would sound like a 9.0 earthquake. BAD..just BAD

Are you sure it's your UCA? I'm running the megan UCA and running 19x9.5 up front on a 35 series tire which the tire tucks just a tab and I rub on that metal bumper tap but not hit the UCA.

Have you checked to see if everything is tightened?

The only way you're hitting the strut tower with the UCA's is if your coils are blown to hell or you need to adjust the dampening/preload. I'm almost tucking rim in the front and I don't hit at all.
