Looks decent !! is this with a 25mm drop??you will have to let us know how you get on with the bumps ect.   I was going to drop mine 15mm to avoid any rubbing scraps ect.. but I really like the look of yours

The springs were a 30mm drop, heres a few more:






Spacers make a massive difference to the look :)

I haven't had any problems with rubbing but I'll report back when I've had them on a while. The ride is a bit firmer but overall I'm very happy :)

20mm on the rear and 15mm front and it's rubbing on the rear with passengers or even on a dip with a bit of speed
Need to take a wheel off to try to see where exactly it's rubbing ... anyone else got this ?  Can I adjust the arches or will it be back to 15mm but I don't want that ...

You've gone too big. Mine are 16mm on the rear and no issues at all.
For an extra 4mm it's not worth the hassle.

The best thing with 20mm spacers is that you can use bolt-on type so you can still use the original bolts and covers.
