Just installed Megan Coilovers and I need some advice
Still trying to find the right damper setting and height, maybe someone can help me here :thumbs: My wheels are 18" with ET35. Currently 4 clicks from hard on the front and 5 clicks for the rear and still some rubbing on the rear when my kids at the back. Will raise it a bit maybe 3/4" more on the rear.

Where is it rubbing, 11 and 2 o'clock? Are you running spacers, is yes, what size?

If it rubbing out the outside plastic fenders, then you can easily grind the plastic off your self. If it's the metal above that, then you will need to remove the plastic and take a metal grinder to it. There is something, called backfacing the wheel hubs. This is where a machinist removes metal from the back of rim a few mm's. I have done this a few times, and it helped bring the rim more inside (raises the offset). Increasing camber would be my last option. mQubed Motorsport, Manic Tuning Dealer

+1 Shave the plastic back on the fenders. It can be dremmeled , if you dont do that and hit a bump it can knock of the arches and possible scratch the upper paint, so keep that in mind, sooner is better. Hopefully it not going to touch the metal over bumps.

What is the width of the wheels? +35 offset is consider aggressive on the Countryman, what is the camber set at? I have a Countryman as my personal car. I am also lowered with Megan Coilovers.

That's good to be safe i had mine lowered and the did not shave the trim, did not have time , it popped one of the fenders. Then i shaved it and its all good. But now I am back to stock SS+ suspension. H&R are going on my R58 soon.
