Problem with camber on the front axle

Hello everyone. I own a Cooper S which was driven in the Swiss Mini Challenge. The vehicle now has a new front axle carrier and a new ST XTA with adjustable strut mounts. But, my problem is, that if the camber on the front axle is more than 1.3 degrees, the stabilizer brackets hit the front axle support. I read a lot here about more than 2 degrees camber on the front axle, how was this problem solved?

Do you have a picture? What are you calling a stabilizer bracket and axle support?

Hmmm... I wonder if its related to ride height, too? I had 2-ish degrees in the front of my car with Megan Racing coilovers, and never had contact with the subframe.
