As it is I have a pretty steep driveway and have had to grind an inch of concrete off the lip to get in!What options have we got - are there any kits etc. that people have or know of?

Maybe stiffer springs and shocks up front, stiffer shocks in the rear and slight re setting of the leafs, just a thought don't know if it would work?

The speed bumps @ the secure car park @ work are a real killer, even lowering 1/2 an inch would be asking for it.

Terebro Member 170 Member For: 20y 1m 28d Posted 18/11/05 06:50 AM Share Posted 18/11/05 06:50 AM I have a Herrod lowering Kit on my Tornado and I have yet to scrape on anything. It's definitely not dumped to the guts, but it has a nice ride-height that handles great.I would like to go lower as I think the front could still go another 20mm down but I hate scraping so tending to keep it as it is.
