Are the rose jointed top mounts you are using offset top mounts? I seem to remember its quite important/necessary to use them for clearance.

Just wondering, have you got all the spacers in? Are the offset mounts pushing the dampers away from the body rather than towards?

I really need offset mounts myself but on stilts setting and centred mounts I get only a little rub I so would have thought offset would cure it.
