depends on what size wheels you have, it's 60mm aint it boys?

I was told it was, but thats on 15's if u have 17's u cant lower it that much.

Try getting it as low as u want, then if u need arch work, let me know and i'll sort it out for a small fee :D

Gav

is it visable when driving down the road to people walkin past?

Daz
17-08-2005, 22:30
No, but it doesn't make a nice noise and it looks crap underneath.

Gav
17-08-2005, 22:44
so if im goin 55mm on 15" 50's im gonna need some arch work, even tho i have 16v front arches?

Daz
17-08-2005, 22:48
Well, the wheels do the arch work for ya.. make a massive cut out on the lip of the arch..

Only with Williams track tho.

Gav

im runnin 195/50 15's on 55 mil springs and torsion dropped 80 mil.
Front doesnt rub at all, back rubbed very slightly on bumper mount so i bent it back with some pliers, job done. this is on a non 16v

Do you lower your cars to make them handle better or to make them look better?? Just wondering.
