Know there is a thread about with this but cant find it at mo.

Going to lower the vessel after xmas prob on spax or gmax shocks instead of standard land rover height shocks. Sits on 15" alloys at mo. anyone know how low i can go with out getting scrubbage. Dont want to roll arches at mo either. And gotta think about those sleeping pigs. Was thinking 50-60mm?? this ok do we reckon?

What size are the tyres, and whats the wheel offset?

60mm should be fine, as long as the wheels are no bigger than 7 inches with a 35 offset

you'll be fine with those wheels I reckon, but double check the offset if I were you

chubbster - not sure, 195 tyres will help out a bit, but that extra 1/2 inch each way.... ouch!

anyone had suspension kits fitted by halfords and how much did they charge just for fitting?

Right halfords dont fit them so local garage anybody used ats euromaster

didnt check before but i've gone for 50mm drop will this mean my wheels will sit nicely just under the arches? so all the tyre is visible? got tsw lightnings on 195/45/15 yoko's
dont want the nova look with half the wheel under the arch.
