Exactly this. If you like feltspec, and you think your car would look good like it then do it.

Its not my thing, but thats me. Smile

You're always going to divide opinion with that one, as said do what you want. For me, if you're going to do it the Irish way, with a dragging arse and loads of tuck, then no.

If you're going to do it properly, with offset, arch work and a level car... yes.

Your car is too clean and tidy to 'felt spec' imo, would look awesome just lowered more.

If you're going lower the roll the arches some more and keep your current wheels! It won't look right on clones IMO

As above, get the roller out. Failing that, get the grinder and add some arches similar to Marty's (cwspellowe).

Erm no you don't, that's what they're for lol my PR3's have 20mm spacers and it was down 80-90mm before it got raised, no issues at all after a roll. I've also got 8.5J ET0 on my MX-5, so trust me, it's easily doable

Agree with scott. Make your own arches and get them blended in would look so cool!

f*ck it man, if you're dropping it to ridiculous lows you'll probably do more damage to the arches by not grinding/excessively rolling them. I'm not talking about using a BFO grinder lol

If you want to keep the car looking standard don't drop it so the wheels tuck under the arch Wink
