yes, lots

front archs will need to be cut out or rolled back, rear should be fine, you may have to trim the arch linner.

your exhaust, will most probly catch on 60% of speedbumps.

i have a 60mm drop on 195/45/15 on voodoo 2 they only rub a little on front archs when going fast over pot holes or round corners, no need for rolling the arches, well not for me anyway :D

(caugh) and theres not alot left of it! ! ! oh yea i forgot my arches are already rolled front and back... and arch liner trimmed.. only thing is they catch the iner arch on the front on full lock... but only just? i was thinking i could limit the stearing rack?? i was gonna try lowering it 60mm on the back to see if it will sit level??
