ive got a vtr on 15"" alloys i was wondering does anybody know how much i can drop it with out the wheels rubbing?? also ive only jus bought the car and i dont know much about them so, does the vtr have a torsion bar at the back??? cheers people!!

[saunders]

yes they have a torsion bar at the back mate. What profile tyres do u have?
if u have 45's then u can do down to 60mm, although most people will recommend 40mm

[NIsaxoVTR07]

yes m8 they are 45's im not sure do u reckon if i lower it 40mm it will look low enuf on the 15's??

have a search and see if 40mm looks ok. You can go 60mm but its advisable to get a full kit including shorted dampers

on 40mm springs wot is the ride like?? i had my old corsa lowered on 60'ss and the ride was terrible!!!

60mm and the wheels will sit just inside the arches, 40mm for a nice even gap all the way around :y:

Iv been told the ride at 60mm is quite stiff, but at 40mm with a full kit lots of people don't really notice a difference

ya c i want the wheels to sit inside the arches but i thought u could only lower it 60mm on 14" wheels??? if i lowered it 50mm would the wheels sit inside the arches and the wheels not rub?

I have been told that you can lower 60mm on 15's fine if the profile of the tyres are 45. Although you will really need a full kit and the PAS pipe need to be bent out of the way slightly, although this is easily done

has anyone had probs with uneven tyre wear lowering more than 30mm?

[Perky]
