windsurfkid Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 I am looking to lower my car by 60mm with a full suspension kit, however, I have standard 14" wheels at the mo but plan on getting 17's soon. What should I do first, get the wheels or slam it? Can anyone recommend a suspension kit too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cossie Dave Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Can't remember what offset my wheels are to be honest, I think they're about 45-48 with 215/35/18 tyres. Lowered on G-Max 60mm springs and shocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
