i have been told that also but i thought i would go for 60mm to see what they are like. to be honest the ride is not bad at all it just fcuking rubbing from time to time on the rear drivers side and it fcuks me off. i will let u know if i wanna swap mate thanks for the offer

my rear is leanin on one side so it rubs too :(
if u wana swap leme know
yeh i feel like switchin back to 50mm front but need standard shocks

leakin coz they were standard ones not uprated and had them for ages so they were worn.
and ur only meant to go 40mm on standard shocks

looks good mate. How come ur shocks started leaking. Sits very nicely at the front. mine car sits perfectly at the front but the rear scrubs but only over really bad bumps. i dont think i have a good offseton my alloys though. i have grinded away some of my arch and it seems a little better

before-
50mm pi front springs
gmax 40mm rear
on standard shocks

bought fk budget 40mm kit
put the shocks on and rear springs as rear wasnt low enought and old shocks were leakin

front was sittin on the tyre :!:! on the 50mm springs
so took it back told em to put the fk40mm fronts on
was higher but rubbed on bumps n corners

so got bro to put old gmax40mm front back on
bit higher but stil rubs on bumps n hard corners :(

shite fk shocks!

so i got gmax40mm rear springs


old pic on gmax 40mm front + rear on standard shocks


pi 50mm front gmax 40rear standard shocks

i fitted my 60mm pi springs on saturday. I think the rear is too low. I was wondering whether i could do a setup such as 60mm front and 40mm rear. Any opinions greatly appreciated
