Hey as above looking to lower 40mm, anyone got any pictures of 40mm on 15s? as i am keeping my standard vts wheels on for the minute and heard 40mm is the best all round drop for looks and handling?

Also whats this about the PAS pipe having to be relocated? will i have to relocate at a 40mm drop or should it be fine???

many many thanks

i doubt you will need the pas pump relocating with only a 40mm drop on 15's. Its always best to check, though, it only takes a minute. If it is rubbing, then its just a case of bending it out of the way. A really easy job to do.

Looks smart. Should be orite with the PAS. You might get a little bit of rubbing but you can get your arches sorted so it doesn't rub.

40mm is a decent height. I wouldn't start the "best handling" debate. Haha!

Here is my old VTR lowered 40mm on 15" VTS rims...

It only affects Mk2's. It's just something to be weary about. It doesn't necessarily have to be "re-located" but just modified. Premium Members can read a "how-to" guide about this.

something lodged in between the pipe and steering arm and then lever it out of the way a bit :y:
