Please please, put loads of stuff in your car and drive on some bumpy roads and see if the wheels rub the arches.
I want the springs but I go on loads of camping trips in the summer and the car gets pretty laden with stuff and I am worried that what happened to me with my Fiesta Turbo will happen again (the turbo used to rub the arches on big big bumps)

Kahless:
If it helps to ease your mind my Puma has been lowered on PI springs (approx 30mm) and has 16" alloys. At Easter the other half and myself did our usual run to Cornwall to visit family. The puma had a fully laden boot and back seat. During the 343 mile trip there I had now problems with any contact with the wheel arches. Also while we were there I had to pick up the farther inlaw and two of his mates from a rugby match, all 3 of then are above 18 stone each and with that weight in the car again there was no scrubbage or contact with the arches.
And yes it was a squeeze in the back.

Now HiD ready. Are you ready for the switch over?

Lol that makes it tougher, I had decided that if I do go for it then I will get the einbach springs, but if the PI's have performed like this then there is no reason not to consider them.

I have mentioned a few times about the Pi springs - my mate fitted some to his probe and they are a joy - no problems at all. They all also cheap at the price - £80 inc VAT for the puma.
