i lowered my subframe to fit the vrs ARB and it still wouldnt come out it was a biach!only had 30mins to get old 1 out and new 1 in and run out of time! just couldnt route it out! so gave up for the extra 1mm! also you may need to consider your exhaust as that might start knocking on your rear axle on the brake pipe braket if you lowering it 30mm and is a c**t to get it to stop but mines lowered a tad more so you might get away with it

yours is also extened out a bit further which would make it rattle a bit more. the exhaust isfine on fr with 30mm drop and dont have rear passengers!!!!
vrs is 2m thicker than mine so worth it on mine but not really on yours

Car looks good gaz, i just hope they have installed them right. The things i see at work with toss pots who fit shocks wrong and use mole grips to clamp the piston when doing them up :ban: Hopefully once you get the ARB sorted you can give them some stick, and they will beable to take it :D

You know how much stick mine got :lol: and they were still working a treat up untill i crashed mine :(
