It was getting more expensive Damien, he offered to raise it but wouldve had to raise, re align and re check & it was already £200 :sad1:
+ £65 to gap the plugs
+ £75 brake fluid swap
when I got home I kicked myself for accepting it worse than it arrived :ashamed:
I think if I raise it 10-15mm all round it may stop scrubbing, I'm far from an expert but I think if the wheel is moved back a little with the geometry it may help as the wheel seems right to the front of the arch and is where it's catching.

So you've left with alignment, matched to a ride height that is un-usable. When you raise it up, the alignment will be out again... so 2 steps forward and then 3 back.

Did BDM lower it from the ride hight that you went in with?

It's the same ride height as it went it. Quite low. It has never scrubbed. It scrubbed a
Little bit since fitting the wishbones wih very rough alignment and today scrubs sh*t loads.
