don't do it.

dropping it right down without any other mods will ruin the handling and eat through tyres.

u may also find that after a few hundred miles the springs WILL lower to the 35m u want BUT as said above u may regret it as drive shafts can also pop out etc

ok chaps but im running on 18" and ive poly bushed everything

the only drive shafts that pop out are the front but this can be avoided by fitting 24v ones instead

i need to do something it sits like a pram!!!
