What type of lip are you installing?...someone with the same one would be able to tell you.

I think I may go for the Bayson R lip, or maybe the INGS+1 rep. Can anyone chime in?

Does contact occur just on suspension rebound, or hard turns up/down inclines?
Thanks

Yeah you're definitely too low to run the ball joints bro, and from what I've READ and/or heard is it doesn't necessarily bang the fender "liner" but more of the strut/tower on harder bumps/dips and rebounds which is why I sold mine quick fast and in a hurry. People who aren't going to go too low always want these so if you do buy em and don't like em they should be very easy to sell!

I have the ings+1 front lip not painted/installed but I test fitted it and love it, the vertex is also very clean. It's your car dude, find the lip YOU like, NOT what other people "chime" in about you know?

I read an installation guide for the ball joints and it said they are made for positive camber corrections only. Sorry for all the questions but I'm about to buy. Everyone sure they can induce -1.5 degrees camber as well? Thanks

You must have mis-read the instructions; mine definitely allow for both + and - camber adjustments. To remove some - camber in the fronts, you will need to trim/grind a small portion of your upper arm to accomdate the ball joint to move as far out as possible.
