dayumm man thats so smart how bad do you struggle with speed bumps? i scrape a few down my end as it is can see this being a problem haha
Re: need the front lower
Have to be pretty strategic on most but its not too bad, its the subframe tats hits more often than not but if you go think about it its not too bad

Re: need the front lower
this is probably a silly question but if you damage the sub frame isit bad? and do you have specs for your front springs the company you advised got back in touch and said send them or send specs but i need the car for work so sending isnt an option
if you do have the specs would be much appreciated! cheers

Re: need the front lower
It would have to be a big shunt to damage the subframe! And spec wise i said just compress them 60mm at the tighter wound end

Re: need the front lower

Re: need the front lower
way to low profile tire there man, a 225/40 on 18 is the minimum and even they look skinny and small, 205/40/17 are to small if you ask me, and the bigger tire will fill the arches much nicer, and you can raise the car a bit, and have better ground clearance.

Re: need the front lower
Correct, thats why i went from 17s to 18s, but the hole point of fitting the porsche wheels n goin low profile and low suspension is to get it scraping its belly, thats the hole point of it! If i wanted ground clearance id have got a 4x4 or left it standard
