[Harry_manback]

my shocks have now all gone after about 11k.

they used to rub but not anymore

i even had spacers on too!

 

[S Garbett]

Mines on 17's and lowered -60mm and had no probs with ribbing! Event with 2 people in back! lol

 

[j6 pkp]

not yet, the weather is too crappy! lol
thanks tho, looks better lowered i think!

 

[j6 pkp]

manback, mine does that!! what have you done to stop it rubbing?

 

[Harry_manback]

nothing other than cut that part of the arch liner out.

when i had 15" on with wider gsd3's on they used to rub on the suspension arms, good job they went!

 

[Hotshot]

my first clio meet i was utterly trounced for suggetsing 40mm when i was considering lowering, never again. 60mm all the way

 

[dutty_112]

i have no arches

 

[Da]

Mine -60mm and on 16's with 205 tyres. Slight rubbing on rear cured with 5mm spacers.

Im wantin to lower mine after i get my alloys ( set of BK333 15" ) how much will i be able to lower it without problems was thinking of going 35mm but would i be able to go lower without rubbin ?

If i go anylower than 35mm will i need new shocks etc etc ?
