Default Suspension Question????

I read back threads and 1 talked about the front upper control arm hitting the inner fender if you drop it 2" or more. Well I just put new struts on my car and springs and wheels and tires. The springs are supposed to drop 1.6" but only dropped about 3/4". my wheels are 16" Rota's with a 205/40R16 nitto. I also installed ingalls camber kits on all 4 corners. But the issues I am having is the upper control arm is hitting the inner fender and i have the adjustment on the camber kits in the front pushed all the way back. I wanna know if i trimmed the out side of the upper control arm and the lip inside the fender so I wont have the problem if there would be problems later on down the road?

the camber kit is what is making the control arm hit. I've dropped my hatch like 5 inches at one point and didn't have the problem. I've read somewhere about trimming out the inside of the fender well so the control arm has clearance. The springs will drop a little more after time, they gotta kinda break in.
