   Long story short I spent circa £1200 on some ast suspension it comes 6 months later and doesn't fit, mean while I have lost £129 on a track day and £100 on the mechanic that was meant to fit them...
   
   hopefully this video will show it abit more clearly, would i be able to get the inner struts machined down slightly to work? i am past the point of fed up now.
   
   
   
   as you can see here the first part of the shock fits, then then its chipping paint and physically won't go.

   I'd think about taking it to a engineering firm and ask them to turn it on a lathe, looks like you'll only need to loose a tiny bit so it should be ok, but a pro engineer will be able to advise you better and it should be a simple job for them.
