^ are those similar wheels, the gap seems smaller?

[bobby-tupper]

id lower it mate at least an inch

[Leemarksmith]

i like them wheels m8 as said lower it 45mm which would give you -30mm over what you have now but then watch out seep humps

I was gonna get the PI 45/40 (so they get my vote) but after reading about seep humps i'm a bit put off...

What are they and how do they affect the ride

Good spot mate; they look the same but in 18", and 'Dec' says it's sat on PI 45s too. The gap looks exactly what I'm after. Decision made I reckon - Cheers dude. Just gotta look into the vibration I've noticed this morning first (after 1st motorway trip). Gonna put a thread up in 'Troubleshooting'. Any help/ideas gratefully received

if you get a 30mm lowering kit it will only drop it by 15mm anyway because the sri is 15mm lower than the standard shocks on other models, so if you want to go lower then pi's would be the way to go

lower 45, will look great

[greenz]

another 15mm drop from standard will look great imho

Thats all you need IMO, just enough to fill the arches neatly.

BTW, are those the MOD999's?

They look great mate. std sri springs look ok on the rear but the front sits too high imho

[Keithy]

plus get them calipers painted. i've just done mine. they look great behind those wheels
