I've had no problem with mine and they've been on the car for over a year :D

Just had to smack the inner arch to make them fit originally

yea tight on the rear. (no pun intended)
best getting coilover fronts, then fully ajustable rear shox and custom springs

I have already got the original avo coilovers before they made the kit with the rears.

Just having alot of problems with my wheels catching the inner arch, which becomes even worse when all the stereo is in.

Wheels are 7x19 and have used 7 or 8mm spacers (cant remember which now)

It will make it easier to set it at the right height with the coilovers.

So do you reckon they will catch on my rims. If they do surely U can just make some bigger spacers.

Cheers guys for your help

they catch on 15 inch wheels, so take an educated guess..

make sure to reinforce the top of the rear turrets. weld a plate on as with coilovers there is an awful lot of pressure on the turrets. not meant for that as standard
