Mine have done it twice John, but only on a hard turn in and where the car has gone down a dip in the road. 99.9% of the time it's fine and hasn't even left as much as a mark anyway..  :smiley:

What offset are yours Ben?

I know you aren't lowered yet, so you probably will only find the odd scrape :wink:

You're going to have to be very careful on the front, I managed to pull the arch out on mine over in Germany on a corner with a lot of compression. As the wheel came back down, it pulled the rolled seam with it, unfolding it... it went back perfectly thanks to a dent-fixing mate - but I think with a wider wheel/bigger track you run a greater risk of making more of a mess of the wing in similar circumstances. Basically our Eibach coilovers are a bit too compliant for the track & hard driving but in turn it makes them comfy for the road.

WALK might help you a bit with the dynamic camber in the corners, but won't on straights. A camber kit like GTI engineering's possibly will, but it'll shred tyres 24/7. KW's Clubsport coilovers have adjustable topmounts so you can dial camber in and out at will. You could also run a slightly narrower tyre?

See it at the top?
