I'd flattened the main metal lip up into wheel well, no rubbing.

But they still rub at the point where the metal work of the arch ends at rear and the top part of the rear bumper starts (If you get my meaning).

I assume offset is the cause.

Coolio.

Get the pics up as soon as it's done dude!

[Richard K]

Gnome, Will do, phone cam's already warmed up.

Going to collect car at 4.30pm,

I just pray the rides bearable(sp?).

It's gonna cost more money in insurance aswell cos it'll be too low to get in garage so it's just off road parking now hehe oops oh well

Parents are gonna hate the fact that it's even lower than before. Perfect excuse to drive their new T180 instead of mine when they need to be chauffered ;) haha

If you find you dont like it as low as it is i'll do a suspension lift on it for you Richard

Richard,

Get the old struts back. If you ever feel the need for Konis in the future you will need the old strut casings to fit them into.

I've got KYB struts on the front of mine at the moment while Koni make me some custom jobs. Much too soft for my setup but should be fine for you.

Thats the same setup im running You do feel a lot of the bumps but it doesnt bother me at all

It more than makes up for it in the bends :)

And i think a set of 16s will look good once its lowered, and save you some £ against 17s in the process :D

Not likely but thanks Steve, Say hi to Mrs Turbo (Rachtubbyturbo), when are you gonna fit some 20" Chromes on your beast? (I mean Wheels not Bullbars, rollcages etc :P )

Thanks John Just Called Garage and I'm collecting springs & Shocks at lunchtime today thanks for that.

The problem is I've already got the 17's in black, see:-

Note:this pic was before I lowered it.

I know, I know, Better late than never. :P I might reach the bubble if I wake up in time

Another mod don't you mean my first genuine mod to add to the list

Did I say my suspension was my last mod for the next 2yrs?.......well......I found my quickshift kit at the bottom of my wardrobe (Which I bought last year), so the suspension's not the last mod after all

[Richard K]

I will attempt to fit quickshift next month
