Lowering a square back
I have got myself a square back which was already lowered, it looks great but the front tyres scrub out when I turn....can anyone tell me what I have
to do to stop this?
I have raised it one notch but don't want to go any higher... I've noticed it has no shocks on the front either,I've noticed some members here have
some as low as mine was and thats the look I want to keep.
Oh I have to get a blue slip for it too.

Cheers for the reply.....the new tyres aren't low profile so I'll look into that thanks but I think I'll narrower as well.

silly question but have you had the wheel alignment checked as this changes when the suspension is dropped As you are going to require a blueslip i
suggest that you look carefully at tyre/rim sizes and legality before you change. cheers Les

Just on stockies, 15x4. At least with the 135's you'll still be able to run the whitewall flaps. They don't work so well on low profile tyres.
PS Mine's pretty low and running shocks, just play with a few different one's to make sure you have travell and they dont bottom out before you hit
the bump-stop.

Mine are Michellin 135R15s (these are know Very hard to find)
What you need is some Nankang 135R15s, should be able to get them at any Nankang dealer.
