Default Rear camber

Alright guys, I have a little problem. I LOVE the way the car feels right now, its very connected, and while I've yet to take a pyrometer to the tires, they are wearing very evenly. Now, the rear of my car sits a little low (its about the same height as the front of the car. Because of this the rear tires rub in one corner at summit point (T-9). Its not rubbing "bad" but i'd really rather not rub on a corner like that. I want to raise the rear of the car, but i dont want to loose any of the camber I have back there. I have the pfadt camber kit, and its maxed out in the rear as it is.

Would anyone know of a good way to solve this? or am i SOL and I'll just have to deal with a little less camber?

I dont have my sheet here, but i think the rear is at -1.3

-1.3 is alot for the rear. even if it drops 1 tenth, you won't notice it.

Seriously, can you cut the inner lip back some? I've pounded it back in (on the Miata )

its not terrible rubbing, but its still rubbing. I could probably cut some, but the rear of the car does sit really low, its almost even with the front of the car. not the normal vette raked stance at all.
