Help - my car needs lowering

[TwistedAspect]

Mine is dropped 60mm on Boge Turbo shocks and Elbach springs......the set up is brilliant, no grinding or anything but watch the size of the rims.....I am running 15"'s and it sits nicely into corners but much more and I am sure I'll get some scraping

if you have the same wheels as mine then that is what it should look like as mine is lowered 40mm.

Are those 17's carpet monster?

i wish, no only 15inch

My wheels are the g60 steels - german winter wheels!!!! They are 15s but are 6J wide rather than your 7J (I presume yours are 7s???). I does look good at 40mm mate!!!

Thanks for the pic - It will play a crucial part in my decision making!!!!

Hi,

Judt bought the blistein kit from euro car parts -40mm.  Im rolling with 17s... I hope it fits.

Just bought some g60 arches aswell, hopefull this will allow the 17s...

The tyres are really low profile so I think ( hope ) it will go, otherwise I will have some 17s for sale.

You wont get any extra clearance just by fitting G60 arch trims, you need to cut/roll the metal arches on the car.  In fact genuine G60 wings have most of the arch area behind the trims cut away from the factory!  You have to be carefull with the rear arches as they are double skinned, if you cut anything away make sure you seal them back up or water will get into the quater and rust it out from the inside!
