40mm would be fine for no arch mods

60mm could be done with just debolting the rear arches

Irmscher Softstars with a 60mm drop on the front and a 40mm drop on the rear. There is plenty of room between the arch and the tyre but I did cut the bolts down

The rear arches are bolted on. I just cut them back with a saw. Easy job, 2 bolts per arch

u wont need to deblt or any of this crap!
those are perfect offset
lower it 80mm if u want nothing will rub!
just lower it n put wheels on
tighten buts well too and dont hit any kerbs!

Its best to just trim down the bolt just in case, there's no harm in it.

The suspension kit is an FK High Tec 60/40 split kit. It cost £240 from performance driven
