All my susepsnion components are OE atm,

looking to drop it by 40mm using G-MAX lowering springs
(http://www.venommotorsport.com/shop/index.html)
cheap but with the effect
will this be enough to wear the inside of my 4 tyres out very quickly?

Just make sure you get the tracking done after you've lowered it, I went through a pair of yokos in about 6 months cos I never bothered, got it done, and my new tyres have lasted over a year now with loads of life left on em

just springs will be fine for 40mm

I had mine lowered 40 mm on 15s with 50 profile rubber and et38 wheels for 6 months with no problems at all

If it's not staying long that'll be fine, if you was going any lower or if it was staying longer, I'd recommend matched shocks. The handling won't be as good as it could be, but it's not really worth paying out if you're not gonna have it long
