Arches are rolled front and rear, and running 2.5-3 degrees camber on the rear. No rubbing and car is set very low as many other members will tell you. Had to drop down to 245 on the rear to stop the rubbing though!

I parked the car up this morning on a gradient, which compressed the suspension on the right hand side and it looked much better. So I have a plan: (1) get some springs and drop the car by around an inch (2) if it needs it add some camber (3) worry about rolling the arches later if it rubs.

Now to research springs ...

Consider height adjustable coilovers, this way you can adjust the height to perfection.

Eibachs are pretty popular on here and will give you 25mm front and 30mm rear drop.

+1 for Eibachs. Only changing mine as I've hanckered for some Ohlins for a long time.

Love these wheels, but I'm not sure about the 18" size.

+1 on lowering though, it will look much better.

Unfortunately they look absolutely terrible. I would be willing to help get you out of this scrape however,and will give you a couple of hundred quid for the wheels?



Will look awesome once it's lowered

As for the OP's wheel's. Great choice in wheel, but looks odd without the massive arch gap. Will look ace once dropped.

I just realised that I never got around to posting fresh pictures since I fitted the Eibachs. It's amazing what a difference they have made.
