   weve got the car lowwerd 35mm springs at the front and lowered the back one click but it still looks to high. was thinking of putting it down another click but the silver one were selling is 60mm at the front and 2 clicks at the back and it sits perfectly level. so im just wondering if itl look 2 low at the back if we drop it again its on 195,45,16"s and rubs just now with one person in the back how can we sort that out aswell.also we plan to fit a vt kit soon and a few that ive seen with the vt kit look too high do you reckon itl look orite because its lowered anyway or drop it down to 40mm

   maybe fit the VT kit first then get the garage to set the height!.....as for rubbing...when you get your vt kit you need to cut the flat arch (that includes th we lip that is scrubbing) out...al scrubbin will go away then!

   its not the arches thats rubbing it must be the wee lip cause i flanged the lip of the arch round.was thinking about ubgrading the shokies aswell its only gmax springs on the front so was thinkig drop it 40 and upgrand shokies get a kit thats the baws wat yous recomend

   lowering by clicks is the worst way possible.. and damages the suspenion.. theirs a guide to do it propperly on here where you take OUT the torsion bars set height and put them back in..
   
   also when you fitted teh vt kit to your 1.1 you dont need to cut the arches.. theres a little plastic / metal lip on the back that you need to bend to stop rubbage...
   
   hope that helps
