Im gonna get these.

I wanna drop her 55-65mm, i have 15' et49's with 195/45's.

Will there be any problems like needing spacers or needing to
use different helper springs?

I've heard the actual coilover hits the tyre?

Any help would be great guys
Cheers

You sure dude? Does it only catch on 17' or something? I've been reading some kinda bad reports. Was thinking of trying to get in on this group buy!

With 15" ET49 wheels there's nothing to catch.

I've got 16" and ET42 and they're completely fine.
It's not that the coilovers foul the wheels, but that the wheels are the wrong size for the car.

Whats the spacer thing about then?

Is it not the width of the rim? I seen a pic of someone who had them and the wheel was rubbing on the spring part of the coilover:-(

Sorry for my stupid questions, just wanna get this cleared up

how wide is the wheel? if you going anymore than -50 on anything higher than 6-6.5 wide at ET49 you may have problems with the wheel rubbing the shock

-50 on 15s would be very close to the ground anyway.

Well it says on my wheel 6Jx15?? does that just mean 6 wide then?

What this about them rusting too? Im starting to think they're more bother than they're worth

So, 6Jx15' et 49 195/45 tyres, what do you reckon?
