Strange that it rubs on the coilys? Must be some wide fuckers haha, never had that problem with any of my wheels

The back needs lowering more, I'm looking for some 110 or 120mm rear springs and will remove adjusters. I'm happy with how the front sits now though.

Did a video from inside the car this morning going over a few speedbumps

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GiIFqpZ4Mo&list=UUIGmZ3QChnHVJnaG-u9FMZw

Also spacers arrived earlier this week and extended bolts finally arrived today , which means i can finally put wheels back on

5mm spacers

Won't be the sump, fairly sure it's just the front mud flaps makes a hell of a noise though
