are you lowered on 18"s? pics please :)

JohnP · June 30, 2008, 11:17:44 AM

Alright guys

Just got my hands on a set of 18" KEI D1\'s for the rex, and was wondering if she will be happy lowered without any wheel-arch-bending.

Back looks like it would be fine to drop... but front looks tight to me.

pics of rex\'s on 18"s dropped please

On Volk GT-C 18", with Tein type flex, lowered but don`t know by how much sorry!

Mine\'s on 18\'s with RS*R springs and unknown Japanese shocks. I don\'t know how low it is, but I would probably say it was slightly too low as it does rub if I hit a hard enough bump while turning.

Gary, you car looks amazing, and you\'re not very far from me (Daventry) by the looks of things.

Cheers od404 have seen your car about in Dav once or twice will have to meet up sometime, you have probably met my family as they all work at Cummins!

Mine is set to low to as the bumper has scrapped on a couple of speed humps, doesn`t rub on turning though!

Meeting up sounds like a good idea, there\'s three of us in Dav. Myself and John (Warthog), and someone else with a Montego blue fd. Quite a pocket of owners.

I probably have met some of your family, the surname certainly rings a few bells.

cant get enough of those advans, there ace

Sitting on 18" Andrew Racing Veilsides..

About the best view of how low it is I can find..

We couldn\'t go any lower at the front without rolling the arches.. Wheels don\'t rub on full lock etc.

To give you some idea of when there\'s someone in the car (although not the best angle):

are you lowered on 18"s? pics please :)
