just fitted my coilovers today and the back looks really slammed  :cool:

but the front wheels touch the coilies when i turn so i was kinda guessing 7mm spacers, would these be ok or?

Are you sure it's the wheel touching the coilies only when you turn?
Sounds strange as I though they turn together ,
Or do you mean when you turn the wheel it's self?


theres about 1mm space when the wheels are straight, when i take a turn thats when i can hear the front wheels rubbing against the coilies
