tibbs.james 1 Report post Posted November 15, 2007 I have only lowered 35mm and i can't get my jack under the sump ( trolley jack ) so it might not look that low with the gap at the gaurds and all ,but under the front it sits lower than it looks. I don't have trouble hitting things. To me it looks like 120mm from the sump to the garage floor. But i live rural and i have to watch potholes in the road and be carefully going along shingle roads and steep driveways. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antony 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2007 on the rears it will. probably almost on the front to. What offset are they, you'll have to look if they rub on the guard or strut. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
