FAO 1.4RT Owners - 15s & Lowering!

[Tom_16v]

My brothers g/f has a K reg 1.4RT, and Im selling my valver alloys to him next week. Theyve got 195/50 tyres on.

He wants to lower it, but by how much?

Just looked on K-Tecs site and they do -35mm and a -55mm springs.

Lower the better really, but will the -55mm springs give loads of rubbing, and will it be a problem running standard shocks?

Thanks for any help.

Tom

I had a 93 RT with 16s and 205/40/16 Kumho tyres. It was lowered 40mm on Apex springs with torsion bar to match. Had three in the back and never scrubbed.

Hope this is of help.

i;ve got 195x50x15 on the front of mine. they rubbed when the tyres were brand new and on full lock, but not very much.

I have 185x55s on the back and the back right rubbed when loaded as the arch is shaped differently to allow for the plastic tube of cables behind the guard. Take a look, youll see what i mean.
