Stop DD'n your mini and start DD'n one of your "GTR's" or how about your R8???hehehehehehehehehe

Also... learn to type/text/spell.

To help you: get down under there and fix it yourself... no one here is going to come to your mansion and do it for you... or you can take it to your mechanic. if ish is rubbing, look for signs of rubbing down there and make the necessary adjustments. perhaps those adjustable endlinks aren't going to work with those coil overs... however I don't see any reason why they would have a problem.... ...

It could be one of many possible problems.
- Strut rubbing on the drivers side inner wheel well where there is a bump in the sheetmetal. You might need to pound the bump down a little for clearanve.
- Top strut nut not threaded all the way down, allowing the spring to move around a little. Compare exposed threads on both sides to see if one has less threads exposed indicating that the nut is not threaded down as far.
- Loose end link. Check to make sure nuts are tight.
