Had a fair search through the site but haven't found anything that answers my question.
I plan to fit FK Coilovers that have been fully wound down and wondered if I needed spacers to stop rubbing as I have alloys with 195/45r15 tyres on at the moment?
Related question - Would I be able to use Halfords brake caliper paint to re-paint the rear springs?

You could get them powder coated pretty cheap. If you choose a colour say satin black most coasters will throw them in with a load.
Other than that I would just use everyday spray paint. Rough em up zinc prime and paint

You more than likely will need spaces, my FK's rubbed the inner wall of my tyre (195/45/15 also) wound all the way down without spacers. I got 5mm ones and have no issue now.

I don't mind what colour really just wanted to clean them up a bit before I put them on, I'll ring around see if I can get them done that way cheers

I did actually look through your thread first for info on the coilies haha, wasn't it just 5mm spacers and extended nuts?

Standard bolts should be fine on 5mm

They will do the job, Halfords sell them for about a tenner

Standard bolts barely thread on so needed the extended ones
