Got the coilovers on and set up properly (only the front at the moment) and im really pleased. Might need some adjusting, but its pretty damn low at the moment and handles so much better!

didnt in the end no, it was just the camber that had to be adjusted, the strut isnt rubbing on the wheel or tyre at all, and its lowered enough for the adjustment rings to catch if they were going to.

Look for evidence of it inside the arch to make sure. You'll see clean patches if there has been any.
