iv got the exact same issue!

as standard the top hats on my coilovers were too long, and with the car lowered to how i wanted it, they bottomed out on the shock body. made up custom top hats

my 17x7.5 MO's catch the springs, so im running 5mm spacers and rear discs, but the wheel is pushed so far out that the tyres no scrub the arches terrible! and thats with the arches already rolled and welded up flush!

also, how the hell are people running rear strut braces? as i cant see how the bolts for the rear strut brace can go thru the turret without fouling on the coilover unit on the other side, as its a fuckin tight fit in there!

also, i refuse to raise the car, as i want it low, which is why i bought coilovers lol so no people telling me to raise it please. im so adament to try and make this work, im even currently trying to source 185 35 17 tyres!!
