lowered my car 60 mill yesterday, running on softstars, and they are catching on the plastic arch trim on the wing :/, only the front ones though :/ dont have a clue wat it could be as offset ok, going get tracking sorted tuesday and if it still does it i havent got a foggiest wha it could be.
Any ideas what it could be?
Thanks....

Mine did this, it's because my inner arch was sagging, only did it one side so I knew it was something causing it. I chopped mine back a little bit and pulled it up just to make sure and has been fine since

Oh.. not sure how it would be rubbing there. They are the correct offset right? (not sure if you could get them in any other offset though  )

If it was because the tracking was out, surely it would be very out and noticable?
Not really sure mate, sorry

You are meant to take the rubber stoppers from your standard shocks - cut them down a tad and put them on your uprated shocks. If you havnt done this, that's probably what's causing it.
