If you have rear coilovers you can get rid of the original springs. Like we did here...

Do the Gaz coilovers cause an issues with the spring rubbing on the inncer arch?

On our race car there's no rubbing on the offside rear arch fuel pipes. I think since the bottom mount for the shock is slightly offset they give enough clearance... See the RPM advert here..
