You'll probably need some 5mm spacers on the front Scott.

I've got the Kryptons which are newer and slightly different design. With your 16's you will deffo need spacers. When I fitted my coilovers with the 16's, the tyre was catching on the the coller and this happened:

as thegsi said, i just used 5mm universal spacers when running spax rsx coilovers (spaces them out enough and can still use your standard wheel bolts)

Lowered it yesterday. Still need to set up the rebound and bring the front up about 10mm. Fitted the 5mm spacers too

Only one pic at the moment, i'll have to wait until I get my licence back and take some proper ones. I've got loads to do to it whilst it off the road, so i'll keep u all posted.

wow that looks great! I predict good things for this project

Any idea how much longer it will be until you get you licence back btw? I remember reading in prem that you had to give it up again

Looking like 12 months

But I can apply for it after 6 months, and if all the specialist's are happy with my progress there is no reason why I couldn't get it back after 6 months

So, it'll go in my nans garage for a while whilst I do a few things to it and get it looking mint for when I drive it again
