Ive just fitted a set of 15" fanblades with 195/50/15 Yokohama AO48 tyres, but the way the car was sat before ment the adjuster ring on the coilover was rubbing on the inner edge of the tyre, I put spacers on and they still rubbed really bad,so I had to wind the spring rite up so it cleared the tyre but now the car is sat really high at the front! Any ideas.........

If you only have the one spring & no 'helper' spring then only option really is to get a pair of the same rate springs but a shorter version.

Plenty of places can supply and springs at any lengh you need.

Yeh havnt got any helper springs on.the springs are going to have to be really short to clear the tyre,seen alot of cars running these size tyres so they must of got springs made. Any ideas of a good place to try for some springs? Thanks

Which springs and shockers are you currently using btw? Could you post some pictures up of them?
