2" lower

What i have;

2 inch 145pound lowered springs for the front... (lowering block 2" for the rear - if needed) to go on...
1979 GL 1600 standard everything else
15" capri rims, 195/50 r15 tyres

at standard height = it Looks like a lot of room at the moment and measurements dont suggest too many probs...

Should i be worried about any scrubbing, rubbing, moving bumpstops, etc??



She's my daily, so i wanted to have everything prepared and knock it off over a weekend ... or is it a case of just chuck it all on and see? :)

    What width rims do you have? Are your gaurds rolled? on 7 inch rims you may be cutting it very fine if you guards do not have their lips rolled.

    thanks Muzza

    15 x 7" rims... but they are capri ones, which i have needed spacers to stop them rubbing against the springs...

    i will run a ruler inside the guard, at full lock each way, and re-check my measurements.

    besides hitting the guards, is there anything else i need to watch?
