Ive had my coilovers fitted and all is good except ive noticed when going 20+ miles an hour and turning slightly if i hit a dip there seems to be a slight rub noise from the fronts.There not stupidly low and i am going to bring them up a bit more but wonderd if this is common.I cant even see any sighns of rub marks on the inner arch liner..
How low is "not stupidly low"?
Its kinda hard to explain, but in the arch, the top screw which holds the bumper on has the plastic sticking out further than the rest, it could be catching on that. My coilies rub slightly when going over bumps mid corner, I just live with it cos it looks better lower

in all fairness, that is fairly low if you've only room for 1 finger.. mine rubs in corners as i said, and i still have about 30mm left to go down on the front! Rears are already at their lowest lol
Sorry are you on AP'S as i started with 45 mm left of thead to go down and know have wound it back up a further 6 full turns.I will try it tomorrow and see.I can always go up more.The rears are at the lowest with the adjusters in giving about 1 inch of clearance which is fine and as for the front i wanted a slight slant/rake of about 5-10mm .Need to get this done before i get the 4 wheel alignment on saturday
I'm half way down the coils on my AP's and TBH I can only get one finger in the front and on the rear i've got the ring on the cup out
so the springs are sat on the bottom of the cup and there's still a large gap between the rubber and the arch!!!
Back end is still WAY too high, the front can go at least 40mm lower but even at ride height i'm at (4x4 ride height)
mine rub like a biatch on the o/s when I hit a bad bump or dip, this is due the weight of the engine been on the o/s.

i fit mine the other day and when turning right i get the same along with a sqweeky noise, not sure what might be causing the sounds?? i'm getting some new droplinks for the ARB but still not sure if this will solve the sound problems ... any ideas???
Cheers

Wound mine up so im just over a finger gap at the front and the rears with the ajusters in are just over a finger gap ,seems to be fine now with no rubs squeeks etc.Ive used new top mounts ,bearings ARB links(stock as all thats needed for this kit) and i think it looks hard as well as performing well.Im up for handling over looks although i woundnt want it higher so a bit of botth if honest but i want to be able to drive hard without clunks,knocks or other ugly sounds. will post pics tomorrow evening.Oh and everything is well greased to
