Hi everybody,this is the first time i've asked a question (only joined a little while ago).I've had my 83 caravelle (now converted to a camper) for a about two years now and i'm thinking of lowering it.Either by 45mm or 60mm.What i want to know is would the original steel wheels rub on the inner wheel arch or would they be ok,or would i have to put spacers on the rear.
Many thanks

Simon Baxter is very knowledgable on lowering stuff - can be found on here or Brick-yard.co.uk there is a lot f info over there on the merits of various drops

Looking at lowering my van and it'll be going his way to lower and get the camber etc reset.

Thanks blurb55 for your help.Have read the section on lowering on brick yard's site.Very help full.
Big cheers

see the reply to similar question above this thread.

you'll be able to got down 60mm with steel wheels no problem! you'll only need spacers and stuff if you start with the allloy wheels! enjoy

Have now order 60mm lowering kit from just campers (seems like a good price for springs & shocks).So will be fitting them at a weekend coming soon,so will post a note to let you know how it all went.
Thanks for everyones help.

No offence but JK kits are a bit on the pants side.
They use Boge Springs and standard piston oil shocks.

Have to agree with joker here choose your supension components wisely

Jamex 40mm kits are £230 delivered, springs have a 5 year guarantee, shockers are gas items..
Nice budget kit.
