Hello all

dont use avo coilovers....
there good but you wont have that trouble with more conventional kits like the FK's.
Only way you can fix it tho is to adjust the rear camber so the top of the wheel sits in more. Dont know if the avo's allow this, but if nort whiteline make a kit you can buy from demon tweeks.

you dont necessarly need to use spacerts on the rears of the avos it depends how wide the tyres are, all coilovers that are coilovers on the rear as well as the front, unlike some fk ones, will need spacers as the springs are all the same size, 2 1/4" so thats where the problem comes from

thats pap, he said at the top that its really high, and the wheel sticks out too far due to the spacer. If the camber is djusted it would solve the problem, simple as.
Otherwise he can pay like i have to have all the archs pushed out to clear the wheels.

ask adam about these he has them fitted... he also said they went straight on 
its really weird how some people have no problems fitting things and others have a dog load of problems ya'd think they would all just be the same

i'd never go for coilovers on the rear - stresses out the turrets and have bad fitting problems. Only answer is the old washer trick to adjust rear camber unless you want to seriousley mod the rear arches. Making rear harder will give you poo handling for road use, even if you think your roads are smooth.
