PBM v1 S13 ruca/coilover rubbing

I have the S13 PBM v1 adjustable rear arms and their coilovers, but I'm having problems with the S13 ruca and coilover rubbing on each other..

I put 18x10.5 on stock body with 245/35 and cranked camber quite alot.. I'm also quite low:


this is the only decent pic I have of my ride height and camber from behind..


anyways, the coilover collars are rubbing on the middle arch of the ruca.. is this a common problem with the v1 PBM rucas?
I can't take any pictures of this because when I lift the car, it doesn't touch, but when the suspension compresses, it touches.

I have the arch facing toward the front of the car.
I tried several different mounting methods and even swapped sides to see if I had em backwards and that was not the problem.

if I flipped them upside down with arches facing forward, it would bottom out on the frame. If I made arches face the rear of the car, it wouldn't clear at all..


I can see that if I didn't have as much camber, that I'd be able to get away with clearing the coilover, but then there would've been no point of me getting the entire rear adjustable arms!

Please let me know...
