@TC Gonna have a chat with andy at psi and see what he thinks about springs or coillies really hoping i can get away with springs otherwise it's gonna be a few months before i can afford coilies.

Its just down to the extra weight what you think would be a ok drop turns out to much. :smiley:
Tony Danza was very good to me at Udubs and explained it to me in simpleton terms as requested. :signIWS:
Basically if you put a ball on a piece of elastic and bounce it like a yo yo then do the same with a heavier ball, the heavier ball will travel back up further. :chicken:

I'm with ya now, so i could possibly get away with the pro kit which is a smaller drop, :wink:

I honestly couldn't tell you, I know they are expensive but coilovers have got to be the answer, For a set of springs and alignment you are talking near 300, if they have to come off, and sold, then you lose big time. If it where me i would wait until i had the extra few hundred and go the adjustable route. :smiley:
Just my thoughts on it. Those rims were in perfect condition on the stand with as new tyres. We asked him a couple of questions and he said they rubbed with some drop, thats why i got asking people about mine i started to flap a bit.
I think he tried them with a drop and realised it was not going to work. :smiley:
Who knows it may turn out that you can drop it without any probs. But if you do go just springs them i would do my research thoroughly. :wink:
