must admit it wasnt as bad as i was expecting, ive changed alloys on cars before with standard suspension and thay have looked stupid, thing is i know if it was lowered 40mm it would look the dogs b0ll0cks, and yes your right with britain being britain :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft:

The reason MR2's in particular have issues with the front lip, is because it sits so far forward from the centre of the front wheels. The longer the lip, the worse it gets, but the stock lip is good in that it doesn't sit very far forwards. Put a GReddy or Aeroware or similar on and you'll start having issues :eye:

To be honest you soon get used to where you can and can't go, how to judge cerbs etc etc. I wouldn't let it put you off :)
