Default frst still scrubbing

Some of you may have seen my last post about my scrubbing fiesta, the saga continues.

Quick spec
Brand new genuine rs front arms
Brand new drop links
Standard wheels with 185/55/14 tires.
Lowered 30 mm on spax , brand new.


Thing is it still catches the front archs, and the springs donk around when turning the wheel.

When I got the kit one of the front shocks must have been a mk3.5 one as I had to grind it down abit to fit thw hub.

It's really strting to piss me of now.

Help. Lee
