Thanks man, that was one of my questions that I answered myself today. I actually cut off the lower perches so that the coilover slides down to the perch's 3 welds so that the coilover will sit evenly. I grinded the **** out of one of those metal hats on the strut just to find that once I had grinded it small enough for the sleeve to fit over, there was nothing left of it and it just fell off. So I just tapped the other 3 off today. So those caps must only be there to keep **** out of there? Did you cover that some how? The other question I had was what did you do to the the little aluminum hats (or upper spring perches) for the coilover? The rear ones fit onto the shaft of the strut perfectly, but the fronts don't have that little lip cut out so that they can properly seat onto the strut's shaft. I am going to have a little lip machined into those front hats so they will seat onto the strut properly and tightly. I was just wondering how you handled this.

Yea man, I'm rockin 205/40/17's on 17x7.5's. My car's lowered 1.8 all the way around, and sometimes when I hit a big bump I hear my tire rub my fender. My rims are a cunthair off of my struts and control arms. If I ever bent a rim, I'd b focked. Rite now, it looks like if I drop it any more my car would sit on the tires, so I just hope when I slam it, it doesn't rub. D323, How wide r yur rims, and what suspension set up r u rockin?

and i bet your running wider than stock tires too
they are so close that if I dont keep proper inflation on the tires they start to rub.
