Hi all recently had a set of H&RS coilovers fitted to my 182.
It proberly sits about 40mm drop-not to shore as brought them 2nd hand,
ON the drivers side it rubs like made but there is hardly any rubbing on the passanger side (Front end this is). I have mesured the ride height from floor to bottom of the bumper and there is about half mm diffrence so can you guys shed some lit on this please b4 my arches are completly mangled.

Many thanks all

James

Have heard/seen people remove the arche lineings when they go below 30/40mm on coilys bare in mind the camber, was the camber adjustable? if so that could bring one side closer to the arch lining if not set-up properly.. from memory i think the H&R's are fixed camber though..

Dnt think the chamber was adjusted fella TBH

Thought it was the H&R's that were fixed camber as standard... May sound simple but is your arch lineing all clipped back properly?

They look it, it rubs just bwt were the bolt for the bumber is joined on. It was cut awy a bit but it was still rubbing then. When GDI put them on they said it looked like the prolines had been rubbing b4. Its got 172 cup turinis on BTW.

ditto that. It's not going to scrub unless they are not setup properly or the arch lining is where it shouldnt be.
keep an eye on the condition of the scrubbing tyre too

you should measure from the center of the wheel to the arch mate not off the flooor
