   yes it will sumtimes if so you will need to remove the liners from the arches. think thats it tho, are you going to use unrated dampers also!?

   Ideally u need improved dampers for a 60mm drop! at 40mm the standard ones are ok!
   
   it will scrub a lil but not massivly...

   Mine was ok too with them on! Ive got 15's on now and still no problems with a 45 profile. You should be fine but as stated above, you may well need to get uprated shocks aswell as the springs as the standard ones wont be able to cope

   it shouldn't rub at all on standard rims lowered 60mm, even on full lock. and if the shocks are not shortened (GMC Bilstein Grp N's) then there's no point getting any, even if they are uprated.
