How low can you go?

Postby Gazza_S on Sat Feb 28, 2004 6:46 pm

Hiya I'm a newbie to this site. I've just purchased a tidy little RS1800 and was wondering how low you can drop it on a set of 16's using a full koni lowering kit (Adjustable dampers and springs) without having to have the arches rolled etc.

P.S Nice site :wink:
