ive got a nova sting, is very high up so i wana lower it 60mm with shocks and springs, the thing is my alloys are smiths 14's 175, with a 50mm offset, will this be ok or will it scrape on the inner arch cause if i have 5 in the car and a full boot load it does when i go over bumps now?!

advice would be appreciated

cheers

should be ok with 50mm offset, are you sure there 50? i thought they were a lot lower than that! If it does scrape, use a mallet to gently tap back the inner arches.

I have 13's on a 60mm drop and it looks really good, i think you will have to roll arches as mine are really tight, dont think theres an inch to spare. your a brave man if you do mate!

dur bodyshop for arches, mechanic for suspesnion silly me. Gmax, Jamex, Spax all do shocks and springs for under ?300. for another ?50 you should be able to get spax adjustables so id go for the Gmax kit which is roughly ?200

u should be fine on the front!! as for the back u could get ur drums skimmed which will make a huge differance i did it on my old sr i had no probs with 15ins and a 50mm drop.

for the money u have i would say BILSTEIN SPRINTLINE kit is a good kit costing around 320ish. mabey less u can get it from TAS or u could ring up LEDA which are also very good and one of there mini factory/sales warehouses is 15 mins away in braintree


i am about 30mins from extreme normal driving
