Hmm, I would like to see that to.
I've lowered my car by 50 mm (Eibach) and do not have that problem.
How much did the FK lower your car ?

Its pretty strange.
Mines down 120mm.
I cant see what could be rubbing on the anti roll bar.
Let me take a coule of pics, so you can point out what its rubbing on.
Which is it?

well i have 17" and wanted to lower it 50mm as well but i was told that it would kill my shockers if i lowered it that much or are you talking about uprated shocks as well as springs

Rob this is my mates car.
It is on 17s and lowered 95mm all round on Coilovers.
His Koni shocks still only lasted a year before they started to leak.
Id defo go for upgraded shocks if your lowering 50mm.
Anything over 30mm imo

Bilstein and Eibach are good examples.

Ebay
I bought my -50 mm Eibach Sportsline springs for 99 euro. New !
But that's because I don't need to change my dampers (VW sportdampers installed).
