Simon, 2 things, one is a silly question, do you have the offsets the right way round on the coilovers?
I seriously doubt it! |

And the thin steel gussets in the top of the wheelarch which are either side of the coilover mounting hole usually need splaying out so the coil can sit properly in place, though I doubt this will help your problem Yes the coilover is right mate and yes i knocked that bit out to fit them in, i thank its the offset of the wheels as there are 4.5x10 minilife which is a cooper offset me thinks.

I have those wheels and they do sit everything in board so you don't have to run arches. Next stop Carl Austin? I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

So off i went to have a play with it and as i was doing up the nut on the UJ, Snap, and the yoke sanpped ooo F###ing B~~~~~ Ball~~g W???erand more words like that, then i just went in the shed to chill out and clean up all the tools.
