    alright people.
    having a bit of a predicament at the mo.
    just swapped torsion bars over on my saxo to 1 thatas bin lowered 60.
    only problem is my 15's rub on the inside! So my car is currently on 13" steelys at the bk and 15's on the front cos i havent got the original 1's.
    im competent enough to cut anytrhing off grinding etc as its my job but i just dont want to cut the wrong things!!!

    oh and another thing as its 60 at the back how low does the front need lowering? i wasnt sure if there was a ratio like 60 -40 etc.

    help would be much appricatiated

    never known 15's to rub when down 60mm

    60 on the back and 40 on front will look like your doing a wheelie imo

    if your 60 on back you should go 50/60mm on front

    looks like that at the minute its shocking!!! im pretty sure its just the arch lip that rubs against the tyre wall.

    cheers mate, will it rub at the front tho?
