My tires now rub my apexi exv coilovers a LITTLE BIT. I am going to slot the coilovers a little to add tire clearance.

I had ksport before and i believe they were slotted on the BOTTOM of the two upright bolts. However, when looking through pictures on here i found some cusco coilovers which have the TOP hole slotted.

I'm confused(or just remembered wrong about my ksports)... With the top hole slotted, i could only get MORE negative camber, bringing the tire closer to my coilover... RIGHT?

Do you agree that i need to slot my LOWER hole to gain a little clearance between tire and coil? Quick help/opinions would be appriciated.

EDIT- I'M NOT going to add another spacer, pull fenders, etc. I have the fitment i want but need a few mm between tire/spring. Have tried camber bolts but they are thin and scary for use on a track. And before you guys flame about offset/wheel size.... 9.5 plus 17 offset, 255/35 street slick tire.
