Default 2daft questions... (coilovers)

1) when you fit coilovers you remove the standard springs yeah?

2) will the wheels rub on mine at the back? (saph with 205/45/16 on esccos rims)

205 tyres on a 16x8 wheel.. will leave the outer edge of the wheel open to damage due to the tyre being stretched .. IMO ..
