Have many people taken this into consideration or simply not bothered?? cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly what you would called "slammed" but im doing it to improve the handling (fitting Koni's at the same time) the last thing i want is a defected car or voided insurance...The big purple money pit gets bugger all attention from the cops and i want to keep it that way...

I'd say your big feral cat would be on the edge of 100mm though?!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
