Ok good, only thing is I'll be a further 1/2" lower witht he smaller wheels... I may dismantle an refurb the teins so they drop 20mm instead of 30mm then it's all good :D

yeah mine were too, get a wire wheel on a drill and clean all the threads thoroughly and give the rings multiple doses of wd40 and then pray to jebus!

keep checking for the parcel it says its out for delivery :shock:

Will do :)

So if I can adjust the drop on the springs I think I'll go with the 45's and tighten the gears up a little too

I'll save my efforts then :)

That's what I'm worried about, I'll be on 205 / 45 / 16's & lowered 30mm so will be creeping closer to getting beached. You've seen where I live James, speed bumps & hills :evil:

I don't know to be honest, they're James' old Teins. He said they're lowered 30mm but not sure if that is vs stock or not.
