How the hell do yours not rub??, I've got Eibach springs(not sure what drop) and 17" Volans and mine rub on full lock!.

cant remember the make springs,
nothin fancy,
i think they were £110 a set,
standard front shox still & uprated gas rears,
car feel so good in most conditions,
i throw it around & it seems quite happy lol
