Plan is to raise the suspention so that 195x50x15 tyres fit because the toyo 888's only come in that size. So i'll have road wheels (cesaros) with T1R's on and track wheels (TD 1.2) with 888's.

Well, it rained all day, i got wet, but it was fun.

Here's the fitted pics.

Wanting 195x50x15 tyres to fit. I'm sure that they would have cought on the under arch cover on lock. Plus it's a bit of a better ride now and i can get over speed bumps.

At the mo i'd say it's a little worse. Tracking is now out. It's wet and i've almost got bold tyres. So handling isn't all good at the mo.

When the coilovers are on at that height it'll handle better.

It's really down to the springs as to how low it sits. Are you sure that they are 35mm?
