Lowered cally opinions please

Lowered the cally at the weekend with brand new spax gas all round but not over happy with it. the front seems to low and the rear not low enough. I also fitted new lower arms and droplinks while i was at it. It all fitted well and it drives very nice indeed inspires confidence in the corners and does not feel like a boat any more. But I now get a bit of rubbing on the front arch on fast dips in the road or when turning hard on a car park or whatever.. Standard rims with 205/55/15 tyres. I am thinking of getting a couple of 16mm spacers machined to lift the front up a little bit I dont think i will be a able to fit 17 inch rims on with it this low. Do you think i should complain to the supplier?

To be honest i wouldn't have bothered lowering it unless your cally lives on a motorway!! I live in the country and cant wait to change mine back to standard! Or is it me just getting too old? :lol:

Its my second car got a works van so dont use it all the time its a toy but when i do use it i do a fair bit of motorway but thats the reason i only went 40mm I didnt want an extreme ride. i have the shocks on medium and its not harsh at all but i have not ried to drive it hard in the lanes because of the tyre rub issue on the front. I think i will try the spacers.

Mine is on standard shocks which helps for a softer ride but its still too low to drive hard on country lanes. On a lovely straight which has no gateways or junctions where i live i can no longer go over 60mph as it bottoms out! I have been down there doing 100 (missus called for an ambulance)!
