How low with Borbet As?

Post by danbakery »

I recently decided I was going to start modifying my Corsa so I started off by buying some euro style Borbet As. I think they look alright at the moment 8) but obviously the car needs to be lowered to get rid of the arch gap. how long do you think I should go?

yeah i need to get another centre cap too :lol:

Do you have any pictures of how your car is standing now? I think your best bet will be to buy some coilovers and set it up till its sat nice :) still get some pics up :)

like I said it still needs the center cap but these wheels are literally the first mod i've done. a lot more planned though.

Yeah after going to college a few times in the week, I found out it does rub the on the rear arches. I'm going to be getting low pro tyres though, or maybe just stretch. Hopefully it should solve it or I'll have to roll the arch :meh:
