[fearless]

cool. What offsets were they?

on the box it says 35 i think, i was suprised really like how level thay are with arches

[fearless]

sorry offset is 40 here is advert for them had to pay extra £40 for the 235 rear tyres but very good company pleasure to do business with nuts , chrome sleeves, spiggots, lockers , the lot out of box and straight onto the car spot on

Looks good mate ,ive got some 5mm spacers if you want to try them?
not hubcentric just fit over the bolts

[Tasty]

Dagenham mate!!! Alan.

[fearless]

oh right matey corn beef city thats a new one i havent heard, heard it called nam as in vietnam though and just as rough, only joking dont think its that bad round here i suppose, rough place all over the country

[Munnsy]

yeah wherever you go nowadays its a little rough, thats what makes britain britain lol
I dont think it looks too bad not lowered to be honest

a good 40mm drop will definately improve her looks though

[fearless]

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

[Leon.]

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

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

[fearless]

dont think im going to let it put me off will just have to pay the consequences to be honest, i know for a fact it will look so much better lowered
