lowering probs
Just fitted some Eibach pro-kit springs to my EM1 and im having problems with the tyres scrubbing the arches so i need some of your ultimate wisdom 
Now my wheels are 17x7 et38 tyres 205/40
I know the ET is not favourable but thats something i gota live with
Ive taken the fixings off from the front wing liner and tucked this inside the wheel arch and bent the 3 fixing points up out the way. Although it is better im still scrubbing ? Someone said about ditching the liners altogether ?
As for the rears Grind or roll that is the question, whats best

Re: lowering probs (seasidevti)
what the heck it ET38?
Are you sure it's the pro kit? Sounds like you're way lower. I wouldn't think you'd be rubbing, but maybe the 7" wheel width is too wide.
