    Some FACTS for how low a Nova rear can go on 15 " Alloys with 195/45/15 tyres - assuming you run standard rear inner arches





    and how can I back up this claim I hear you all ask


    Well if you were to remove the inner rear arch to see how much travel you had left - you would see this




    It's impossible to lower the rear any more without cutting out the rear inner arches and fabricating new inner arches

    /\ Dave. I hate the teasers you keep posting up! /\

    Clearly you up to something, in no rush, I expect.

    Here is mine mid W.I.P, pretty sure she will go down inch or more further.
