Default stiffer rear on a classic.

Hi guys. Fitted my new 18s yesterday (215/35/18). Went for a fast blast today and found that the rears are rubbibg on the arches. The offset is obvoisly wrong but I cannot afford to get another set and they do fill the arch really nice.

So my question is---. Are there any springs I can fit which will stiffen the suspension without lowering it? If there is were from. I have looked on ebay but have only found lowered sets.

Please help as the kids have been banned from the back as it makes the problem worse.

Thank you. Mark.

Get the lip on your arches rolled, any decent bodyshop should be able to do
this for you.

Fitting an uprated ARB will help a bit, Whiteline 22mm for example
