60mm drop on H&R Kit

[Spoonman]

If thats done on a C180 any idea what the biggest wheel/tyre size you can fit without arch flaring?

cod prolly run 19*8.5 and 19*9.5 staggered and get it to work.
60mm ant that much compared to what some of the boys are running round ere ;)

I'm down about 60mm all up with Koni springs and number 1 pads.

I've got 18 x 8.5 front and back and 225/40/18 tyres with only minor rubbing on front right.

I think with 19 you will have to do some minor work to the fender's....these 18's fill them out quite well with no modificationphotobucket.com

I like that, nothing too fancy just some classy touches.

[MirageHatch]

thanks, that was the plan :)

[c280nz]

that does look very good!
well like said you may need some slight body touches, and to take out the underguard plastic, to run low, but if you going to the effort it isnt much more of a hassle

[Spoonman]

Yeah light touches are ok, arch flaring and repaint is more of an effort, though worth it if I decide to respray my car anyway (which I may do)

yea my front inner fender linings are a slight problem.....one of them became dislodged on the freeway doing 100kmh - rubbed up against the tyre when it came loose and i could smell the burning plastic! - just ripped the whole lot out on the side of the freeway ;)

Yeah seems to happen a lot! Happened to me when I was on stock rims and I don't think I was lowered at that time, but yeah same thing heard massive cracking noise at the front then looked in rear vision mirror and saw heaps of black pieces flying everywhere haha, pulled off highway and yeah the cowling was gone :confused:

Pretty lucky you guys didint have a blowout realy that could have completely ruinined your day, and your car.

How much of that plastic can we intentionally rip off? I mean ive been having lots of problems as far as driving 130 km/h and up and hearing all sorts of plastic noises
