I've got gaz rear coilovers fitted to my car but the spring seems to be rubbing on the coilover body (threads), Anyone else had this problem and know of a way to sort it? It's quite annoying. Thanks

They're meant for cars with wider turrets apparently, most people "persuade" the original turret with a hammer to get it to clear and some peoples don't hit like my old one

Mine aren't touching the inner arch, the spring just seems to rub on the coilover body :/

Mine have done this before in the past. I found that jacking the car up and re seating the springs sorted it

Do you have the helper springs in?

As said already,reshape the turret to clear or cut it out and fit a wider one in.

Probably not seated properly at the top ofte spring, jack it up and lower again but make sure the spring seats top and bottom are on the spring correctly
