Should have gotten an alignment before you rolled the fenders. That setup should be no where close to rubbing.

The passenger side rear is rubbing on the fenders. Dont know exactly where since i am driving when its happening.

I got the aligment done today and its still rubbing! Is not rubbing as much, now its only happening during hard bumps ans dips.

With the S-techs i was only able to get it to -2.0 camber on the rears...

Problem: Passenger side rear still rubs after fender rolling.

Suspension: Tein S-tech Z specific.

I think its an alignment problem, it rubbed even before i recently installed the s-techs. I did an aggressive fender roll thinking it would solve the problem but still persists.

Can stock rear suspension be out of spec (stock range)?

UPDATES:

I went for an alignment the most the tech could give me was -2.0 camber on the rears.

Also here is a pix of the passenger side rear fender which i think its the part its rubbing.

From the pics you posted, I wouldn't say you have an "aggressive" fender roll. Try rolling them ALL the way down and that should fix your problem.

The roll itself is pretty aggressive, its almost folded flat. I just didnt know you had to roll all they way down there. The back is rolled all the way to the rear bumper.

Does it even touch that area? If so the driver is the same but is not rubbing...

I paid a local guy from my subaru forums $20 to do it...i guess i can ask him to do the additional 6" or so.
