Im looking to lower my CL either 60/40 or 40/40.

I have upgraded my shocks to Bilstein's and im fitting the springs very soon. Just wondered if anyone has had undergo any arch work for either of these drops? Or would bump stops be a better option??

Im running 15's with 195/45 rubber

Cheers!!

no direct experience of my own, but from numerous past posts i'd say any wide 15s with any kind of serious drop (maybe even 'just' 40mm) will need work.... just a simple roll, but scrubbage otherwise. 195 is pretty wide for a mk3 anyhow

DONT NO BOUT ARCHES BUT ID UPRATE UR BUMPSTOPS I DIDNT ON MY OTHER CAR N MANAGED TO TWIST THE BOOT FLOOR, REAR FOOTWELLS JUST FROM OCASIONALLY BOTTOMIN OUT

im currently running 7x15 ET 20 Ats Cups with 195/45/15 toyo proxes, theres hardly any lips left on any of the arches on my car, which i removed to stop it catching.haven't tried having the car full of people yet will try and get some pictures for you!
