what size spacer?

[BIGS]

Right im going to use a 5mm spacer on the front. should i buy another 5mm ones to go on the back. or should i go for wider ones like 7mm or 10mm?

Why do you need to run spacers? I think the general rule is don't make them bigger than they need to be.

[BIGS]

well to clear the coilover adjusters

Same thickness all round should be fine. Just confirm arch clearance on the rears...

What about shorter springs? This will move the adjuster above the tyre solving your problem.

Imo i would just run the 5mm spacers for the clearence on the front and leave the back.

[BIGS]

No need its for the saloon :D They have proper arches lol :p

But Jay that is ment to be a bad drive. ive been speaking to a semi pro driver and he said it has to be as wide as the front or wider.

[Pistol Pete]

lol in that case, just do the fronts.

[BIGS]

Speak to Oli (dev) he runs just the wider fronts doesn't he?

[Mark Sparks]

49 offset is whats best so 5m should be fine but never known coilovers to give probs any pics of the problem you have.
