Having to run spacers with coilovers is quite common, most just use 5mm spacers to clear them.

I had to put 5mm spacers on mine and still couldn't get the camber right without rubbing them. Lost my patience with them to say the least

no pal the helper spring is so when there is no weight on the car the spring is still tensioned or if you get a shorter spring and wind the coilover body up it wont catch i had the same problem and run spacers so i am buying new 400lbs springs 6 inchs long

Removing the helper spring actually lets you go lower.
