   not much mate tbh, just things will wear out faster than usual and also you will have to bend the PAS pipe out of the way as it will rub, and probablies the ride comfort, but who gives a shit about that lol

   mines down about 70 all round. can feel every single bump in the road, cant go down certain streets anymore, and you gotta be really careful when reversing as you could end up with the backbox being pushed in by a kerb.... but it looks sweet as fooook.
