No issues with the lowering springs with the 5mm spacer. It was an issue with the coilovers though as the width did limit the adjustment. Had to drop the rear to 9 inch and the front to an 8. I had ocean DTM’s on before with an et6 and they didn’t run at all and that was with an 18 too. Possibly it’s the tyre size that’s making yours rub.

When i wanted my thread moved and the title changed i just put a post in the thread asking a mod to move it to xxx section and change the title to "xxx" please, and it was done for me.


Thanks.

DC front coilovers and Gaz rears. Don’t know info on spring rates sorry.

Off for some paint touch ups and Group A spoiler fitting. It’s sporting the new reg plate too. Can’t wait to see this again.
