AW11 BC Help!

I have (2days ago) installed BC V1's on my 87 AW11.

Now I have 15x8+15 wheels alround with I think 195/50R15.
Before the coilovers I used King Springs (that had been cut a coil that I got off amember on here) and KYB GR2 insets.

Never did I have a issue with scrubbing etc.

So yep put the BCs in, I got these with 5kg front 8kg rear springs.

So I wack them in and I also put in new poly sway bar bushes and the new sway bar drop links that came with the coilovers.

I take it for a spin and its rubbing wheel on body.
I think that's alittle odd considering the springs are harder etc. so I wind up the dampners to see if it helps.
Nope nothing still scrubbing.

I've raised lowered the ride height (which was originally set at where the King/KYB combo was.

I've adjusted preload -/+ 4mm and made sure that's all correct

I've adjusted camber, from the top and the bottom. And still scrubbing.

What am I doing wrong. I've obviously missed something.

Any thing would be great.

If I can't workout out and you need some coilovers tha haven't done more then 5km please don't be afraid to make an offer.

    15x8 +15 is very aggressive offset for an AW11, I am surprised you weren't getting scrubbing before..
     
    Pics might help.
