Standard springs lowered

[george1987]

I haven't fitted my alloys to the car yet, but I have been told its going to look a bit stupid. I have 17's on at the moment with 215/50/17 and my new alloys are 18's fitted with 225/40/18. The gap is going to be massive between the tyre and top of wheel arch. How would I go about lowering my standard springs after the new alloys are on, just until I can afford to get some proper ones? Cheers,
George

I don't believe there is any soloutions out there worth considering. I'm in a similar situation on my 19's with SRi suspension but it will have to wait and take it's turn till funds are in place.

if you use oxyacetylene till they deform the car drops done it on bangers you block the car to where you want the level then warm till its there

As if the VX springs weren't fragile enough lol

Just brave it out until you can afford springs mate
