camber kit ... fixable?

Camber kit fixable?
Hi, guys...

I have a q with the camber kit here.
I have SPC sliding ball joint camber kit in front for my 5th gen.
I'm dropped about 3.25 in front, the nut at the top of the balljoint hit my car when I go over even a slight bumps.

Is that camber kit hitting the inner fender or hitting the body further than that inner fender?
I know its hitting metal...

Also, is this fixable or do I have to raise the car?
I really try to avoid buying new springs to raise the car now... I'm broke

Help me out and thx a lot you all...

Same thing happened with me. My shop installed mine, and it was hitting a little. So they put my camber kit on the other adjustment, and it hardly ever hits now. He did say they shaved/cut away some of my inner fender away though, which is common on accords, and I think preludes when you have a pretty good drop.

btw, what do u mean by "they put my camber kit on the other adjustment"?

and how much is it roughly for them to shave/cut away the inner fender?

I have a regular camber kit and i had to push out my inner fender(metal) a lot & also shave a little of the upper arm. Thought the ball joint wasnt supposed to have this problem. Get pics if you could. later..

To tell you the truth, I'm not 100% sure. The shop I had it done at did it for next to nothing. And about the camber kit, it has 2 or 3 settings, and I remember him saying he just moved it to a different setting. Sorry I couldnt be more descriptive, but I'm not an expert on camber kits.
