Hi

I have a MK 2.5 focus sitting on 17" rims and thinking of changing them to 18"st rims I have heard that you need to fit stops on the steering rack to stop the wheel rubbing on the body work inner wheel arch has anyone got any advice?

60mm on front and back mate no rubbing at all, not to clever with speed humps hence why i am putting 40mm springs on for extra clearance20160326_110526.jpg20160326_110510.jpg

buy some 40mm darren will just be nice and ride shudnt be that worse, mines to hard its too low need some comfort, been tempted to put standard springs on but they too high, £80 for prosport springs of eBay

Are they hard to fit? Any trouble in removing the front spring damper unit?

Looks good! Some nice low riders here. Wish mine was lower but the law does not allow me :(.
