I havent had to roll the fenders at all it clears all the way around with some camber in the rear i like the look so have not aligned the rear
As for the hids i am using the kits from DDM tuning and love them they have been on since 2010 with no issues

Did you change out the halogen projectors for a HID projector?
Camber not adjustable in the rear...I have a slight negative camber in the rear but my front and rear sit 28" from ground to fender lip.

Do you know the offset of your wheels? If I had to guess they are OEM spec because I'm running +42 offset and don't have that much gap between the fender and tire.
I'm intrigued because I had to use shorter springs with a higher compression ratio to get the front and rear lower along with modifying the ELC linkage to fool the car into a different ride height.
Also had to shape the inner fender guards with a heat gun in the front otherwise the wheel scraps the plastic liner at full turn.

I love the look of the whip man. very sleek and aggressive looking. Once I get my new tires and rims, i'll be looking into lowering mine too.

very nice 2g. the murdered out treatment looks pretty sick, and the dropped stance just works.

Nice Aurora! I recommend a brake upgrade, with the bigger wheels, you can use Buick Lucerne v8 type front brakes, you need the calipers, caliper brackets, pads and rotors, it all bolts on. You can also go bigger than that, newer Camaro/Corvette calipers with Mustang rotors will also fit on our cars. Grand Prix front brake mounts are the same as ours.

lol I'd go an inch lower but I'd beat the ******* out of my car around here. I'd have to fabricate a skid plate.
but yeah fonkelso I'm not sure there is much to be done about the camber 'issue'. AFAIK it isn't factory adjustable. I don;t know too much about shim kits.
