Yes, but you wouldn't like it! Fit a set of Mud Terrain tyres - Cool They fill the wheelarches beautifully and kerbing your alloys will be very difficult due to their deep sidewalls. Tyre life is hugely improved - my last set ran to 64000 miles when they became useless offroad but were still road-legal with 5-6 mm tread depth remaining and I sold them on to someone who never took their car offfroad!

No I don't like that. Thanks for your idea though.

RE: PI lowering springs

It seems that you can lower a car with adaptive suspension Very Happy

It was done by a member on here and he had also fitted 22" wheels. Shocked

He said lowering the car made the drive better.

A word of caution - Magneride is an optional extra on Dynamics in many overseas markets so that car may not be fitted with it

Good point, I'd be interested to find someone who's lowered a Magneride car. Anyone Question
