yeah its weird how they designed it to be that close.
you should see mine... its probably 1mm from the sidewall of the tire.
you have pretty decent spacing...
you have to stretch your tires..
do you run winters or is it only a summer car?
i love these coilovers..
the ride is a night and day difference.
you can adjust them to be smooth at the low dampening setting.. mine were first at 8 fornt 7 rear. and it felt only a little stiffer then stock.
now i am at 12f/11r and feels much firmer and corners nicely. it does get a bit bouncy if your on a really bad road. but the roads where i am are pretty decent.

The studs for the conversion are from Vorshlag. I ordered them from their site. I believe it was around 80 bucks.. Not bad. Since you can throw on any spacer from 2mm to 12mm
no need to have a bunch of different lug bolts.

So I ran into a problem.
I got a metal clinking? rubbing noise?
not sure how to explain in..
But it is coming from my passenger side suspension.
I also noticed the difference in ride height of this vehicle. Which I still do not understand.
so this is how she sits. the passenger side is a tad higher than that.
But behind the wheel its this story.
This is the passenger side....
This is the drivers....
Also.. Is my passenger side strut thing suppose to be lifted like this? because the drivers side isnt.
Any suggestions on where to order sway bar links for the front would be great. Or if there is an alternative.. sway bar with links? upgrade etc....

I read around the forum and noticed that a lot of people are getting the clinking noise problem from bad bushing/end-links.
So i ordered the front end-links and rear sway bar links.
Also ordered front bushings for the sway and 2 new strut mounts.
Going to be replacing all of those and hopefully it resolves the clinking noise and hopefully helps improve handling.
