the steelies shouldn't foul the suspension as they are a lot thinner than aftermarket alloys. well should anyway.

they fit the car with std wheels, aftermarket ones will foul as seen above, i have the konigsports and bought the smaller helper spring from BAT which done the job.

Just rang rimstyle he said he will supply me with a 5mm spacer for the wheels. My wheels are currently et49, will the spacer do the job? And will it affect the car in anyother way?
Also can you get these spacer from any motorfacters?
Cheers

top bolt should be a slot, so you can loosen it and adjust the camber pulling the wheel away from the coilover.

why supply a coilover kit that will only fit with standard wheels on though?

i've adjusted the camber so there was roughly a 2mm gap from the bolt, and ive got a bit of clearance but not sure if it's enough, will it be best too go with 5mm spacers?

if it doesnt touch the wheel it will be fine, it doesnt get closer or furthur away when the suspension compresses.
You need to get the camber checked tho, if its wrong becuase youve had to pull it out you will need the spacers and then move it back in a bit. this is why i got rid of my fks, fucking pain in the arse.

if its got a part number on could check it with an email to FK? It will be right tho, doubt rimsstyle would rip you off, i got the same ones with higher pound springs before PVD got potted.

If you have asked for them they should have said they will be fitted for you so you should have them.
They charged me £55 for my higher poundage springs!
I have 215 tyres so this could be the problem, but i wasn't told upon purchasing them that there would be a problem.
Will get the camber set correctly, then see how far the tyre is from the coilover.
