Mate if you go to 18" rims, your original spring will sit inside the rim ,
Well it did on my car.

What Bobby said ..... and it did on my car too :)

Yep, it would definitely fit inside an 18"... I just like to make life hard for myself I think! I do slightly prefer the look of the 17"s to 18"s, a bit more classic and less modern, the 17" wheels look almost like they could have been a standard size on the car to me. Got started on modifying the spring this evening, buying a shorter replacement would certainly have been the easier option, drilling spring steel isn't fun. Almost finished though. The handbrake cable bracket probably would have sat inside an 18" too, definitely would have sat inside a 19" wheel.
Kind of ironic that the rear has several issues and the front fit without any problems...

Here is a photo of adjustable stop, original stop is drilled and taped 3/8 UNF.
There is a lock nut on the inside, to maintain the setting. if I do this again I would move it up 3mm higher.

Ah excellent, that's a smart and easy mod, I'll definitely do that if I decide to limit steering lock. Thanks for the picture! Makes it easy to visualise.
