same problem i had with mine
looks a good height in the rear
Comforting to see that it just wasn't my coilovers that had this problem :roll:
Check out my post, http://forums.austarion.com/viewtopic.php?t=11105 and you'll see that the Toperformance guys skimmed the adjusters for me. At the moment I've got 5mm spacers but will probably go a little larger.
What's the largest we should go before we need to swap the lugs out as well?
Looking nice too Shannon :pimp

Thats a top idea JJh :o Something so simple and i wouldn't have even thought of it. How do you go with the c spanner now? Did they need a little adjustment too? I am so doing this, as i am only maybe 2mm off.

Demon, No the wheels came that way :D I still don't know the exact offset as it is not stamped anywhere on the rim. They are a 3 piece item.

The C spanners are untouched and still work fine, I'll take some measurements to give you an idea of how much they took off.

I only just read this :oops: I don't think i will be able to get the time off work :( Good news is that my rear quarter should be on the way over really soon, so i can get the car painted and not looking like a beat up pos.

I will pull the old girl out of the garage this weekend and blow the cobwebs out of her.

Well i've been in and driven a few starions lately, and i've found myself comparing them to my widey. Then i realised i don't really remember what my wideys like :( So i drove down, pulled her out of the garage and gave it a run. Wow did i forget how well it handles :D I need a much bigger turbo as she runs out of puff by 4500rpm.

So here it is all covered in dust and crap :oops:
