no way around it. even if you lift it a little, those seals will give out sooner or later.

Make the holes on the coilovers elongated so you can slide them up a little on the knuckle.

D2s are as far as I know identical to Ksports except for the color.

Take a picture of the rubbing so that I am sure of what you're talking about. I think you're having the same problem I had if I'm understanding you correctly but I want to make sure. I think you're talking about the bottom "jam nut" sort of thing that tightens against the flange which bolts to the knuckle. If so, all that **** is adjustable on the Ksports and can be adjusted on the D2s as well as far as I know.
