Hey all, im thinking about using the H&R 60/40 lowering kit from the zone shop, but in the future i wanted to put on 9Jx16" Borbet A's all round. Will this fit without arch modification? I think i would have to do a slight tyre stretch with some 215x40s ?? but what is the law on "stretched tyres"?

Just a quick question... if i find the 60/40 drop is too low for all round daily use, i can just switch to longer springs... like 35mm on to the shocks from the 60/40 kit cant i??

If you want you can drop with 60/40 for daily use. Better for you.
