Hey all - sorry didn’t get any notifications for this chat

Defo not defensive - was just pointing out some bits.

Swapped the 40mm drop springs for the 15mm ones and now I’m much happier with the look



Been for a drive round the block and the drivers side rear wheel rubs (obvs - it’s like 12mm off the arch)

The main reason for it only rubbing on the drivers side is I’ve not set up the adjustable panhard to bring the rear end back in line - to be done over the weekend

Ive chatted to a few people who run these wheels and have the car lowered and know it all works

So I’ll swap the tyres and sell the ones on there now and go for the recommended. Stretch is fun - my smart BRABUS has some quite drastic stretch





But I think 215 35 is what most run which obviously changes things a bit

Then if I need to I will trim the arch a bit

Can’t roll the arches because they are double skinned and spot welded

JJ
