front wheels are staying with my 2" band requirements but the rears im having second thought on

It's an almera gti on coil-overs, will be lower when the wheels are banded. Wheels that are being banded are 15" Volkswagen g60's

Planning on having some stretch and poke Wink

Go with the 3"

but to make it work lower it more, camber the rear slightly and put on a TOA sticker ;P

imo just throw a 2.5 up front and 3 at the rear bounce

i cant do rear camber Sad its a solid rear beam from one wheel to the other. the beam can be bent to give camber but i dont know anywhere in northern ireland that could do it

i really want to go for a 3" band on the rear but i think i will stay with 2.5" band and stick on spacers on the rear to bring the rim out more if needs be
