Fronts are not touching the spring. Still have the lip on the wings so these will go at some point.

What coilovers are they? Any camber adjustment on the bolts?

Gaz gold ultra lows. I do have some camber bolts from the Astra but nothing fitted on the Nova.
But they fit in at the top of the hub assembly, so adding camber would only bring the top of the tyre and wheel in towards the shock.

Gaz GHA not Gold's. Smaller body so tyre should be nowhere near the shock body itself. Definitely on the shock not spring or lower spring platform?
Not asked about hubs, brake set up or wheel offset but going to assume all normal ish.
You could use the topmounts to gain 'good' camber then eccentric Camber bolts to reduce it which would gain you shock clearance without spacers.
Or perhaps the topmounts might be enough to pull the top of the wheel in away from the arch lip.
Always get that wrong. Lol.
Topmounts are stock, they were marked with a white line, took that to aim outwards to give a slight camber in.
Hubs standard. Brakes 288mm discs, plus calibra calipers.
It's more the lower spring mount that the fronts touch. The 3mm spaces have solved that.
Think the answer is to roll the front arches and then its sorted.

In that case I refer to my previous suggestion. 1 inch shorter spring and all your problems go away.
This assumes you have 1 inch thread above the current position

Comes down to cost then. Cost of shorter springs vs rolling the Arch.
Minor issues now I think.. Next project coming on now.. the engine!

Thing is its rolling the arch without damage to paint ect. Cheaper to buy new springs I would of thought.
Leave it to the professionals??Originally Posted by torquey
To be fair the guys that did my rears didn't damage any paint.
Could always cut the lip off too, think me attaching it with a hammer wouldn't be the best option.

Cutting the lip makes it weaker. Hammer will almost definitely ruin it. Could buy an arch roll tool but better spending on the springs tbh.
