just got my fk coilovers went to fit one and couldnt fully adjust the bottom as the hub stopped it moving across has anyone had to grind the hub bit back so it can be fully adjusted?

does that make any sence? lol

nah the camber is mental loads more than when i used valver shocks.

the hubs are williams hubs non absi could see they couldnt fully adjust and needed grinding back so it could.
