   different spring manufacturers will have different tolerences in how much their springs will settle. If its rubbing you should be getting some scuffing in the arches. pop the wheel off so you get good access and stick you head in the arch for a good snoop.

   Could it be the PAS pipe rubbing?

    Does anyone have a pic of the PAS pipe as I've had a look for mine and not sure which one it is?
