Anyone have any problems with the wheels hitting the compression struts on full lock?
I am looking to fit these as I need a lot more caster for drifting but since I have 50 degrees of steering lock I fear the wheel will hit the compression strut and therefore lose a lot of my steering lock.
Thanks for any help guys

Won't you have a problem with the front wheel hitting the inner front arch? My wheels aren't centered on the arch is this normal?
I also need more caster for drifting but i just can't push the wheel closer to the front... How are you thinking of solving that?
I've also thought of putting a spacer on the ARB to push the TCA closer to the front.

It does rub the inner front arch, I have the tca pushed out for more camber but also better clearance on the inner arch. I have spaced the arb forward but it's far from enough caster
If I fit compression struts I will move the wheel forward until 7 degrees of caster(general setup for drifting.)
Adam do you have any extra lock on your car?
I thought the compression struts would hit easier since they are straight whereas the arb comes forward a little before the bend and on out to the tca? Hope that makes sense
