going to upgrade my coilovers as the current set up is allowing the tyre to rub on the widened overarch when going over bumps and undulations in the road, ( body mech fitted them for me ). In fact currently I have a 2 " gap between the tyre and arch lip, so im wondering if I need coilovers with adjustable stroke length, anyone got any good ideas ??

Bump, anyone have any ideas?

Not quite sure what you mean - do you already have coilovers? You surely must be able to adjust them to reduce the gap. What do you mean by adjustable stroke length?

Think he means adjustable ride height Si. Given Birds post re his Meisters prematutely corroding then BC coilovers would seem to be the next popular choice.

I have Tein coilovers fitted ( old ones ), the car is not slammed to the floor, it has a 2 " gap between the arch lip and tyre, yet the suspension travel is allowing the tyre to rub on the Arch lip when I go over potholes, It is almost like I need to change the stroke length to be shorter and thus stop the rubbing at the lowest point,

Are they adjustable height? I'm no expert at all but I don't think you normally adjust the stroke length? Sounds to me like you either need stiffer springs, stronger damping (are yours adjustable?) or a combination of the two

Adjusting the stroke length without changing the springs or damping will just result in you hitting the bump stops

Is that updated feature new?!?!

Tyres shouldn't rub at that ride height anyhow so theres an issue with your alloy wheel width or offset. If its "just" rubbing then get the lips rolled. If its a significant "rub" then you need to consider changing your wheels.
