3 to 5 mm spacer. or you could take the helper spring out so the adjuster seat sits higher up the threads.

ive tried 6mm spacers and set the camber so the top of the wheel pokes out, the car is absolutly fucking undrivable,
if i remove the helper springwill this sold my problems?

it will handle like a noddy car if you have positive camber. if you set the camber back to how it was and space it out, does the wheel still touch the coilover?

definately too much negative camber in that case. if the coilovers have an elongated top hole then adjust the camber enough to clear the wheel from the shock, then take it somewhere to the alignment set up properly. they wont be able to set it up with the old school 4 wheel laser alignment though so avoid them places
