to save rolling the arches when i lower the rear of my car, i was thinking of machining 2mm off the discs, this would bring the rear wheels closer by 4mm. Would this affect the hadlling much????  ________________________________________ Team Diesel |

What are you trying to get to fit exactly?Considering your question i'd have thought handling went out the window a long time ago. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |
