no bud its not on coilovers, its got adjustable dampers on so was thinking about putting them on a harder setting, it only rubs when theres another person in the front of the car with me. Dont really want to attack the rear arch with a techical adjuster :laugh:

would put some pics on but havent clue how to get them off the camera........i've put it down to witch craft that happens.
might be a trip round to hans and ask very nicely
