Okay so I have a 1.1 with a VT kid, 195/50/15 tires and lowered 40/50mm. If I have 1 person in the from and 1 in the back I can drive with a few scrapes. If I have two in the back it scrapes even if theres a little bump in the road and it won't even move if the cars full. These aren't fat bastards by the way. What rear dampers should I get that mean it won't scrape so bad but also won't break my back. I need to be able to drive to Reading Festival with 4 other people in there

Did that last year, for the cost of 5 train fairs I could probably by a disposable Saxo for the weekend

wrong section

reposted a million times


but to be helpful..first mistake was 50 profile tyres....second was 195s on a flat arch

but as your kitted...you should have cut the rear arch to suit and it will be hidden by the kit..same as a vt would run

Pretty much as blackie said. Wrong tires for the car. Remove some inner arch.
