Just been fitting my new Avo coilovers, got the rears on so far.
Noticed that the rear nearside spring is very close to the inner arch and touches when compresed

Anyone had this problem? thought of bashing the inner arch in a bit to give clearence

 

That's exactly what you need to do, take a big hammer.

 

as Azrael says you will have to do this. this is a know problem and can happen when fitting coilovers to the saph.i had to do it my self last year.
just way off where its rubbing and give it a few belts in the area,
its only a small area that rubs and you dont have to use a sledge to do it. make sure you reprotect the area you have hit as it normally will expose some bare metal

 

Job done and in primer awaiting a quick lick of paint.
cheers fellas

Why dont they mention this when you buy the dam things

 

Theyusually do, and they say you need to have top mount reinforced. You have rear brace, don't you?

 

No

 

Dean Saff I think you should.... I had rear turrets stich welded and brace fitted.
