Adrian<br><br>Will 17`s go on with Avo`s without modifying the shocks-don`t particulary want to take a grinder to them!! and do you get problems with them scraping the arches. I need to use the RS everyday and with speed bumps everywhere I don`t want the hassle. The arches are modified, but if i`m gonna get problems then 16`s it is.<br><br>cheeRS

If you are talking about AVO coilovers, you will need spacers, 5mm I think.<br><br>Normal shocks will need modifying.<br><br>As for speed bumps, it depends on how severe they are. On my car the suspension (-80mm) and the Laguna splitter makes it so low I just have to crawl over them at 2mph or it bangs about all over the place. I get no arch scraping except with more than one rear passenger.<br><br>Adrian.
