   my vtr is being lowered on saturday, by 35mm all round on G-Max springs and shocks. ive read that when you lower the car you have to buy new
   
   lower arm balljoint clamp bolts
   trackrod balljoint nuts
   driveshaft nuts
   piston nut for each strut.
   
   is this correct or do you not have have to replace any of it?
   
   thanks daz

   100m at the front? Coilys + major scrubage.
   
   No if your only lowering by that much you will be absolutely fine. Mine is lowered 60 all around and i have just now started getting some knocks etc,i think its just because of the VTR alloys on putting the driveshaft at a funny angle, so some larger alloys are in order + bit of a raise up me thinks
   
   But no 35 mate, won't have to replace any of those parts, unless they start to go.
