Oh well, we'll have to see what happens. Fingers crossed!!! My 40mm Apex kit sits pretty low. | |

i had et42 16's and 40mm drop rears only caught with 2 rear passengers. might have to do some arch mods there | |

Ive got -60mm Gmax kit and 7x16 on 195/45/16 tyres and cut back all arches by about 10-15mm, metal arch that is, also shaved some plastic off of the plastic arches!!! AND STILL GET SCRUBBAGE!!!!!I sometimes wonder how people dont get rubbing and others do, i guess the tolerances on the production line comes into the story!!! | |

quote: Yes, i ordered an Apex kit from PVD and they sed they will give me the -40mm Nova springs cos apparently the corsa spring sare "pants" , lol as the nova springs are a lesser poundage so it will then sit a true -40mm. I havnt got them on yet but i will be fittin them with 16" x 7" wearin 195/45 tyres. They said this setup is pukka, so i trust em! what do u mean unbolt the rear arch? will i need to re attach the arch liner in any way? CHEERS (sorry 4 hijackin :P) Mikee | |

PVD told me that the drop on APEX aint right because the springs are still pretty soft? | |

I think my TSW Evo-R's are et45 and with 195/45/16's they were not rubbing with my 60mm Jamex springs and I have had no arch mods. | |

So u reckon as long as they arent too wide they'll be ok with 60mm drop?? Should look sweet i reckon :D | |

I'm not entirely sure on the width. Surely they wont be more than 7" with 195 rubber? Are u on 17's? | |

im on Apex - 40mm kit with 7.5" wheels and it only just rubs so i expect you would be fine as long as your wheels are only 7". | |

Will i get away with just de-bolting my arches?? |
