Speedlines and coilovers

[Green16v]

After today i'm trying to work out a way of keeping my speedlines while i have coilovers because after fitting the coilovers ive had to put a 5mm spacer plate on so its pushing the wheels to close to the arches and they have already been shaved.
How does everyone cope with this problem?
cheers.

Get Shorter Springs For Your Coilovers!AS THIS WILL MEAN THE PLATFORM IS HIGHER UP AND HOPEFULLY NOT CATCH THE TYRE<

I had the same problem, the spring platform needs to sit atleast 10mm above the tyre, but then the car only sits 30-40 lower than standard, out comes the angle grinder, cut 2 coils off, paint the ends with hammerite (to stop rust)

& now it's perfect ;)

I tried the spacer thing too, didn't work but filled the arches nicely

For the interest of myself & anyone else thinking of getting coilovers.. what make is in question here?

The coilovers i have here are spax RSX and only fitted for me with 5mm spacer plates on the fronts rears no probs
