Lowering C70?

[Darkvader666]

Had some 18inch alloys fitted to the C70, but now need to drop it a bit. Before I do so can anyone let me know if they are running wider rears than 225? I was looking at at Eibach springs, do they give a better look at the sky high rear!? :insane:22396223972239822399

I'll have 235s all round once I fit my Pegs, but I may need spacers on the rear, just to fill the arches. This is how it looks at the moment, slammed on coilovers:

Seems to be 2 of these threads, as I've replied on the other one.

Perhaps a mod could merge them.

I did it with rolled arches - eibach springs and 19s with different front & rear sizes

Hello Dave, that is some massive rubber you have on the rear there. Were you running spacers at all to get them to the edge of the arch !?!?

No spacers required. Direct bolt on - stolen 3 years ago.

Ouch!! Sorry to hear...already have two sets of locking nuts on mine...might invest in another set after hearing that !!
Ok I will see about going wider and see what it looks like. Thanks for the tip !!
