Having fitted lowered Pedders coils all round my TF is often hittng the bump stops that hang down inside the springs.Is this acceptable or is there another solution.I'm also finding that with 16"rims and tyres (overall O.D.saame as standard)two adults in the car makes it rub turning corners.Just wondering if anyone else has similar symtoms.

No,I haven't had them rolled as yet.Is it just the lip that is rolled or the guard as well,and what did you do with the inner guard?Rolling will involve paint repairs too I guess.

not realy i did mine and the paints was 15yrs old
you just need to hammer them a little bit at a time
moving from front to back and vice versa also
when doing this put something hard on the flat edge of the guard
good luck
