how much scrubbing do you ppl put up with? ive just lowered my car by 60mm on 16s and although ive cut the arches to the original si spats mounting holes, and trimmed the 2i arches so its just a clean edge without the slightest lip, i rarely get to the end of a road with out scrubbing a little.

i was just wondering wether you ppl just put up with it? im going at it again next weekend when i put the rest of the 2i kit on (rear arches and skirts, looks a bit daft at the mo but better that than rushing it!)

I did have MAJOR scrubbing on my car... It was -40mm on 17s... scrubbed BAD cos the spax kit on my car was meant for Fezza 1.1 - 1.6S and I'm runnin a 2.0 Zetec. so was a bit low on the front. my tyres were MASHED... So for now I've just raised up the car a tad with stronger springs... Yeah OK it looks a little high, but at least it has NO scrubbing at all, and Fast Ford still took a pic of it at a show ;) :D

Having said that... I WILL be investing on coilovers when I have the funds ;)
