Rubbing

I will be putting my RMs back on soon ready for (hopefully) the summer but they rub bad.
Its on a sportline lowered by 40 mm, is there anything I can do too stop the rubbin issues.
Like is there any springs that are rock solid that type off thing?

Coil over type springs are available in just about any length/poundage (really stiff) that you require

Coil overs kill your car dude.............cars need suspension, they are not designed to take every pothole and bang......and I am only saying this because you have a GORGEOUS Sportline....dont kill it! :-)

I know what you are saying dude but I brought it like it and they rub quite bad. But I brought a set of standard sportline bbs wheels for it which I run in the winter so I will only run the RMs for 6 months through the summer as you are right and I do like the comfort more.

That is an option dude but going to try a couple of others first as it sits lovely as it is. She is running very well no probs at all, I have changed all the breke discs pads and shoes. Will be getting the rear plastics painted next month. But I have decieded to sell her at the end of July. I love her but I miss my first love the VR6 power.
