Default Weitec lowering springs.

Have any of you guys heard of this make or had any experience of them re the quality etc?

Been offered a set of barely used springs that supposedly drop the cat by 38mm.

If I did fit them and dropped the car this much, would I have any problems with the wheels fouling the arches?

Thanks in advance for any input.

I did punch Weitec into the search and couldn't find any info on them here.

38mm = 1.5" = too much drop for oem based shocks. Your free to do whatever you want but it's a receipe for unhappyness in the end.
Last time I checked, 20's means taller rolling diameters vs oem, any clearance issues will be made worse.

Thanks for the answer, I have though, found that the springs actually drop 20mm and not 38mm.

How do you feel about that amount of drop?
