S3 8p on coilovers

[Gavin_s3]

Running AP coilovers which I have 3 threads left on the front and 2 on the back. Anyone thinking of getting some I say do it brilliant for the price.
Thinking about adjusting them all the way down but I've noticed i sometimes get rubbing on the rear when cornering hard or when I've got people in the back.
How are people getting around this?
Arches rolled?

Thank you!

Have you removed the arch screw that holds the liner?
I had a small amount of rubbing until I removed it from either side

Not yet, I did read this the other day I'll give it a try. I'll be very surprised if removing that screw will cure the problem altogether if I wind them all the way down.

Also depends on wheel width et & tyre sizes
Mines on AP coilovers also
19" et50 8j with 225x35x19 tyres
No rubbing after screw removal

Mine is on rotors, 225/45/18.

Nice is your coilovers wound all the way down?

2/3 down but at et50 I could wind them right down

Im on AP coilover wound all the way down with 12.5mm spacers on the back i took the arch screw out and ive not had a probem with rubbing since. However if i have 4 on the car its a different matter

Ok mate I guessed that might cause an issue. Surely the only way around this is rolling the arches? That's what people must do using air ride.
Have you got a picture of your car?

 

[JamesMadog]

Yeah arch rolling is probably your best option however i rarely have more than 2 in the car so im not worried about it

 

[Gavin_s3]

Looks sweet. Try get a side on view if you can mate difficult to tell from that camera angle.

AP all the way down

I've seen that before, love the wheels!
How are you getting around the rubbing?
I find under hard cornering I get rubbing or when I've got people in the back

Taken the screw out the rear arches, you could add some negative camber to the rear if it's a big problem
