Annoying or what ey? me and my mate fitted my new coilovers today, finally thought i had them all set up after 4 hours (this is the first time i've ever attempted anything this adventurous) drove it home from my mates house and the inside of the tyres are still scrubbing on the strut etc, made a reet bad squealing on the way home . i need to adjust the camber and height tomorrow i reckon, watch this space

yep. 3-5mm should be fine.

3mm is better if they will sort the clearance issue as with 5mm you should fit longer bolts

5mm have sorted the problem, forgot to chop down the longer bolts at first though, oops! the trackings all to pot though, hopefully it'll be getting sorted tomorrow

i don't know how i'm going to adjust the to ride though, from standard to coilovers feels so harsh
