My car weighed in at 3213 lb with 7/8 tank of gas. Car drives great though steering feel is different - heavier, not as much return-to-center force. Not sure if this is due to increasing front camber to -2.5, dropping it an inch, the Whiteline roll center correction kit, or all of the above. I'll beat on it a little tomorrow and see how it feels. KWv3 Clubsports with 8k/9k springs seem fine on the street, though I haven't hit any potholes yet. And most of the under-damped low speed jiggleiness displayed by non-MR Evos is gone.

I'd be more worried about raising the height changing the camber, which changes the toe, probably even if you reset the camber. You're probably not changing the height much though? Maybe this is negligible, not sure.

I am going to bend the body seems back under the fender liners first see if that helps. That is where I am rubbing. Do you know how much he charged for the whiteline roll center? Although I am running 12k rates I am close to 2in lower than stock probably. Probably wouldn't hurt to get them put in.
Another note is I absolutely HATE my AMS trailing arm bushings. They are the loudest most obnoxious bushing I have EVER heard. They pop, groan, creek, every terribe noise there is. I have had every brand urethane one there is for the most part and these Delrin ones are just terribly loud. Going to have to take them out (which is not easy with no air tools) and throw tons of grease on them. Just a warning to those thinking about them...stay with urethane.
It's funny I just spoke to Chris about this, as he was finishing another evo (yours I assume since he mentioned KWs). What did you end up for alignment? I did -2.5F and -1.5R and it did make the steering heavier. Although at high speeds it feels much better.
