hay peeps, basicaly after i get my car back together i think its time to treat it and get a lowering kit.

i want to lower it 40mm all round (or more at the back as i dont want the euro jacked up arse look) and am just wondering if anyone has come accross any problems with thes rims before? oh and tyre size is 195/50/15 (need some give in the tyre)

yes as you can see the front is slightly lower due to having an xe in,the exhaust used to catch on speedbumps untill i put a let in and had a full exhaust made.
