Not really, i was quite shocked, i can get full lock, it does catch over big bumps, gonna slap some 205/4016's on then i can drop it a bit, maybe 195/45/16's if i'm feelin crazy... will have no probz then.

just had a look on ford parts and the cossie rims new are more expensive than the rs7's you were selling and then the tyre size on the cossies i expect is more expensive so looks like youyve done well

is your boot a differennt shade to the bodywork ?
