The front ones have that angulat bracket at the bottom which connects to the upper arm and sits on the swivel... because my car is so low that bracket keeps bottoming onto the subframe.... its either make some diiferent brakets or modify the subframe.... i think pitstop are going for the second option.. i have heard of a few other people who have had this problem, the other answer would be to use the lower of the two top mount brackets but that would look carp on my car....

the rear ones just rub a tiny bit on the inside edge but its enough to fail an MOT and would be made worse when the wheel alignment is done, eventually causing huge rust problems in that area. on 12" or sensible 13's it would't be as much of an issue but my fat 13's with silly tyres need quite a bit of setting up.... will all be worth it in the end though

The spax rears from the RSX kit are offset top and bottom I have two full sets hear? are the springs progressive?
you might have an early set! if you get the number from the bottom of the unit I will have a go at cross ref for you
