Default Camber kit keeps hitting tire well????

I recently purchased a 91 crx for my daily, and a couple of days ago I put skunk 2 pro s coilovers on the car, with a front adjustable camber kit, every time i drop the front, the camber kit goes into the tire well and the only way i can prevent it is by raising the front up like crazy, ive taken the camber kit off and switched sides and also adjusted it. Im new to the honda seen so please any help is very much appreciated.

With some cars, as the body lowers, the upper control arm angles upward at the ball joint end. Radical lowering makes the control arm hit the TOP surface inside the fender.

If the upper control arm is beating against the inside TOP of the inner fender, It will beat a hole through it, if you let it.

Two solutions which I have seen.....
1.Figure the bumps you will hit and raise the car up just enough that it doesn't hit.

2.I have seen holes cut in the top of the inner fender.....don't
really like that one, but maybe if I see your car, I can give you some guidance before the welds start coming apart.

Now....
If the upper control arm is hitting the SIDE of the inner fender, let me look at it. I probably have the solution.

Get back with me. At the meets I go to, I talk with a lot of people about their cars.-Bob
