Would a Series 2 RS Turbo on standard wheels/tyres (195/50/15) which is lowered 60mm catch or get stck in brake rollers used for an MOT test?

really??
Mine was bloody awful on -60mm springs!! It was bouncy, the shocks had no travel so even minor bumps would hit the stops and chuck the car about, it would destroy tyres and wheel bearings every couple of thousand miles as well.
Still say to this day best thing I did was get rid of them springs! lol

Just be careful not to hit the jack you get attached on ramps,as you will hit it lol.
My car could'nt go across the rollers,they had to lay down the metal covers.That was at 70m drop tho.So you might be lucky.Did handle really well and loved the low ride but as some comments say,it destroyed my tyres and ohh my god speed bumps.I got caught and stuck on some like a sea-saw.
So keep away from speed bumps when you can and major dips in the road and you be fine lol

I know its common practice to not Brake test some 4x4s on the rollers, they use a throw meter instead, but never had a prob with LSD cars - you just tell the machine is got an LSD and it does 1 wheel at a time!
-60mm Drop i reckon would catch, my Orion is -40mm which is -30mm for a turbo and that catches the mudflaps when in the rollers and on the beam jack on the mot ramp! Still you can't have standard ride height can you!?

Rs turbos were on the chart, along with a lot of other random cars, certain automatics cvt type iirc. But as the vts now tells you in the vsi about any abnormalities with the brake test the charts are not needed, note that the vsi always reads STANDARD vehicles of this typr may be tested using a rbt.
Also not every roller brake tester has the 4x4 option

If in doubt get the deceloremetre on the job.
My cabrio gets this, I just ask for it not to go in the rollers.
