Yeah always seems to happen that the tyre rubs on the coilovers, spacers will sort it though.

The coilovers you have are the same as mine. Ive never had a problem with the tyres catching the coilovers. On the coilovers where they bolt up the top hole is elongated to adjust the camber are you sure you havent set it with too much camber??? And remember to go and get camber and tracking set up properly or it will drive like a dog.

ben if you have the x14 or x16 do it!! its amazing!! sounds better, better throttler response and feels like theres more torque! i put it on the c16xe and was a nightmare fitting having to swap bit here and there, i paid £120 for it brand new online and reccomend it
