Hi
What size are your rims and tyre combo on the front and if you lower it more would the tyres rub on the guards? Are the rims centre or offset?
thanks Rick
Rims r 15 x 6 with a 3.5 inch backspace
Tyres r 195/50 series
Could have gone the super low springs without rubbing the guard but I still wanted good suspension travel
Especially with the roads around lismore if I was still on the gold coast would have went lower
Bloody northern nsw roads r rough as
