^^ H&R/Eibach is gonna be a very mild drop bro. First find out what drop you have with the current springs before shopping. Perhaps your current springs were cut/heated up or something why you think they are super low. Your pic doenst look low to me at all.

Just by looking at the pictures it seems that part of your issue is camber was adjusted to around 0 degrees. There is no reason why you shouldn't be running -2 degrees, or at LEAST -1.5 degrees up front. You WON'T eat up tires if your toe is in spec, that's BS. I've been running 1.5 degrees for two years and 2 degrees for the last year with negligible camber wear. Any competent alignment tech will align the car where you want it.
Do -1.5 or -2 degrees camber with 0 toe and see if that improves things. You may need additional hardware to get that level of adjustment. If you STILL rub, just reduce the tire size to 225/40 as suggested. Or roll the front fenders.

yes and no...you can adjust it believe by a bolt thats on the spindle, I THINK...BUT i HIGHLY recommend taking it to where you got it aligned and have them adjust the camber...i'd say take a recommendation on degree of camber from someone on here with a 4th gen thats more apt to that side of suspension/alignment/camber

Absolutely, if you have the tools to do it correctly. You can search online on how do it with protractors and straight edges/rulers but it takes a lot of patience and care. You also need to adjust the toe because all these variables are interconnected and changing one usually changes another by a significant amount.
Take it to a smaller mom and pap alignment shop with someone that knows what they are doing. Ask around in the car enthusiast circle and you're bound to find something in your area. Most places will check it for free so you can report back if ya like.

Back on the stock shocks and sawblades 
. However, ksports were orders and I ended up curbing my car to avoid some dumbass tourist 
the other day that took a chunk out of the sidewall and some more rash to complement the existing 
. I'm gonna replace the two fronts with 225s, squeeze the ksports on my agx struts and take it to a shop to have camber/allignment thoroughly checkout out/adjusted.
G35s are so rashed, i'm thinking about unmounting all tires as I have to replace two anyway, grind them down to bare metal and have them painted with the car. FWIW is nice to be drivable again even if it's on fooking ugly azz rims. But hey, the swap went well and the light rims means more speed
.
Thanks for all the help y'all
