    get some -30mm eibachs.... they'll sit it down nicely.....

    you'll find that if the wheels have a different bore to the standard VX one's you'll have to use the spigot rings on the vecs hubs...it's quite common for aftermarket wheels as they just make a common bore and sell the rings to fit a variety of cars..

    you will need the spacer rings as they will vibrate alot m8 and you really should have 45 profile tyres. i had 40 profile and didn't look right now i have 45s on they look and fill the arch alot more

    they won't rub on -30's... and Glynn is right..you should really be running on 225/45's..you'll be getting strange speedo readings and a hard ride on the 35's..

    Just change the springs for now, or, if you want , fit some shorter bilstein shocks...

    Are they easy to change?.. if you have access to the tools and know what you're doing then yes, they're not hard to do..
