Default Adjustable Front Upper Control Arms Hitting Wheel Well

I'm curious how many of you have experienced your aftermarket front upper control arms hitting the wheel well after having them installed. I read a post by rotchcrocket04 saying the SPC arms were banging against the wheel well on a suspension lowered only by 1". It's an older post so maybe they have this worked out these days.

Anyone else experiencing the same issue? If so, what brand FUCA are you using and what kind of a setup are you running?

In my case, Kinetix front A-arm's adjustability was limited by the wheel well. I had to take a mallet to the sheet metal inside and make some room. Got enough for up to +1pos camber. The rubber boot touches metal on compression but no noise.

I have Bilstein B8's and Eibach springs. I'm trying to set the front camber correctly so it's not feathering the front tires. When I did the forum research I saw that the aftermarket adjustable front upper control arms people were getting were hitting the wheel well but not too many people elaborated on it. My car is about 1" lower than stock.
