Hi mate, welcome aboard.

I would have thought your lock would have been fine. Even if it isnt, you soon get used to 7 point turns instead of 3!

I imagine that 15s will be no trouble at all for the arches, as lots of people have 17s and are just as low - the ride could be, ummm, choppy though.

Springs on standard shocks isnt the greatest ride, and you wouldnt believe the difference when you upgrade to a full kit from it (eventually!), but it is certainly driveable and an improvement over the standard set-up.

I would have thought that shock-life *will* be reduced, but thats simply because theyll be under greater compression for longer (I imagine - anyone care to correct me?!). And when they do go, its the perfect excuse to upgrade to Koni/Spax/Coilovers etc.

Get some pics up when you get it done! Not sure of the best place to do it - it depends a lot on where you are in the country and what youre willing to pay. Dont forget youll need a good tracking session done afterwards, so factor that into the cost.

Hope my drivel is of some help anyway.
