im goin 40mm on my RT so i reckon 55mm on a valver will be fine!

Kirk,

Ive lowered my phase II 35mm on standard alloys and rubber, the wheels tuck nicely up into the arches and there is no rubbing. Looks nice.....sorry no picks though. Didnt even have to have the tracking done!

your valvers probably sunk 10mm anyway so if you were going 35mm, the front wouldnt sink a great deal. when i got mine done the front had actually sunk 15mm! my advice would be lower only 35-40mm and keep the arse end slightly higher than the front to aide in handling. They do look much better when the tyres are slightly tucked under the arch.

should i level out the front and rear or jus make the back ever so slughtly higher?

 

[pete bann]

depends what your going for mate, if its looks then lower it however much u want but i rekon (and especially with a valver) it will handle a lot more positivly if the rear is higher than the front. When they rolled off the production line thats how they were factory standard set up(arse higher than front)

cheers people
