What spring shock combo are you using, and if you have a loaded up car do the tyres rub the wheelarch liner because mine do and I am trying to work out what to replace first, I have Koni Adjustables and Eibach-20 mm springs

Thanks

My mate running legerra's is having this trouble with his Koni's now.
What side is it rubbing on Mat? or is it both fronts?

Cheers for the replies guys

Chris It seems to be both sides the left has a very small scuff on the arch liner the right is bigger, neither is massive, it sounds a LOT worse than it seems to be?
It is really pissing me off as I am positive it didn't used to do it and the Konis have only done a few thousand miles, it seems to only have started since I have been doing concours and the car is loaded with all sorts of crap and my mate it has happened

Mat have you used different sized screws for Oil Seperator or header tank, or alarm etc etc.? Sometimes, these can push the liner closer to the tyre and cause rubbing. Also did you check the washer bottle has not come adrift as this can also cause the same problem. It maybe a problem with the liner, and NOT the suspension
Eibach springs are softer than most, but their travel tends to be the same, if not less than normal.

It does actualy seem to be since I took the liners off
I hadn't thought of that, I have replaced all screws for header tank etc
problem is it's on both sides, I will have a really good look next weekend and maybe remove them and refit them
