   i have a standerd furio. i want to get it lowered by the garage and was wondering what mil should drop it on 14inch vtr alloys.
   
   30-35mm due to the fact that i dont want it rubbing etc.

   soldier i would drop 40mm mate. im the same as you in the sense that i want a FULLY trouble free car hehe, i dont see the point in having problems or worrying about bumps at the cost of some good looks, i mean when i drive my car the good looks come from the inside in the form of me lol
   
   but im gonna drop 40mm on 15s, and been as ur only on 14s i would drop 40mm mate, defo no probs

   30mm? why bother
   
   Cheaper and more worth while just having fat friends in the car most of the time.

    as its been said, dont bother getting 30mm drop, aint worth it IMO, you wont see a change and want it lower

    yes agreedm 30 point less. Blimey dont worry about rubbing, can go 60 front 80 back and have a full car and it doesnt rub on vtr loys, except full lock.
