Ive also got a 60mm drop on spax springs and yep no problems at all.

the pi 60mm springs seem to drop about 10-15 lower than the spax ones for some reason tho.

cheers guy do u think i will need arch work at all? im gettin wolfrace ikons or mantis??

 

[connor]

Nope, no arch work at all,

i had 6 pplz in mine and over humps i didnt rub! all u need is the correct offset wheels

Well all you need to know is freds is lowered well over 60mm and is ok with 17s, though he did a bit of arch tidying for the full 110mm!

I dont have 17s but 16s lowered 80mm and it can take 4 people in the back no problem, my wheels are ET38.5. You want wheels as close as ET37 as poss.

no probs at , apart from a little rubing when on full lock

wont rub if you have the right offset. my mates has got a 172 with 17s on a 40mm drop and they catch on the rear because his offset must be wrong.

 

[spinxclio]

I dont understand how there is no scrubbing with 17s and drop. Ive got a boot full of ice and had 3 (fairly large) people in the back a couple of nights ago and I noticed today that the inner arches at the rear have melted slightly due to the tyres rubbing. Standard suspension, 195/50/15s on dynamique wheels. Any ideas?

PS the tyre had almost disappered into the arch as well! Looked smart as!
