I agree that coil-overs shouldn't be the reason for interference. I think it's hard to compare pictures car-to-car without all the information... in the photo you just posted that shows plenty of clearance - have the a-arms been modified, are there offset ball joints installed, exactly what type of sway bar is installed etc... all of which could make a difference... also, the a-arms look almost level with the ground and not at full droop.
Can you cheat the sway bar arms closer to the inner fender, away from the strut tube to buy yourself a few more mm's?
I will try to look at the 2 cars I have with RSR struts to see how close the sway bar hardware is to the strut tube... may take a few days, but I'll try to remember to take a look to compare. I seem to remember that it was pretty tight when the suspension is at full droop on my cars, but I don't remember anything physically touching.
I think that if your car is a street or track car that will be used such that the wheels will always be in contact w/the ground and under load, I'd not worry about it too much if there is clearance when loaded. If you use the car for rallying where there are jumps involved etc..., I might be more concerned about the conflict.
