never had any issues of rubbing or catching on the front and is lowered more than 1 inch m8 but might also depend on the off set of your wheels but would of thought your be aright.

 

[RossMK2]

mine are slightly catching as think original springs are lazy. want to put new springs on but want similar ride height to were springs are sitting

[marky4]

are your wheels superlights? if so they have abit more off set than my ML'S & Ronals so they might catch if you lower the car to much

[RossMK2]

no they are minilights

 

i think it's the spings.

 

do you think mine is about 1" lower in height. i know that it's hard to tell but im just trying to get an idea of what springs to buy

[RossMK2]

How low is your car at the rear mate, i've got a set of M/L's and i'm lowering the car 2" all round, but the car is in bits and i'm unable to try the wheels on it at the moment. If mine will rub i'll prob sell the M/L's on as i have some other wheel options.

 

Sorry for jumping in Ross

 

Cheers Ash.

it's agood 2 inches if you have 186/60 tyres might just catch the inside lip of the arches so best to roll them then you won't have any probs

[antz]

i use 6.26 banded steels on my Escort so the front dish is quite hefty. My cars lowered 2 inches all round and I had to roll my arches (cut the lips off )

 

but this time ill roll them.

[RossMK2]

think i might see what i can do too antz

 

i need to get the car fully loaded then see exactly where it is slightly catching

[mk1mexico]

Looking at your sig, it looks to me like the mex spoiler is mounted too high up the arch line.
