go with what you what. I had sport back arches with 13s. The ride is rubbish and wanted to change so its up to you how you want your ride Now i ve got 6x10 ultralights and they look sweet with the sports back arches; Just needs a lowering at the rear and it will be prefect. Handling is much better. Comfort is much better and it feels quciker.

What suspension mods did you make to lower your ride height? Did you simply fit an adjusta ride kit or did you add a uprated shock absorbers as well??

You can do it with just adjusta rides, but to do it properly and to keep the geometry correct I'd say get some adjusta rides, uprated shocks, adjustable tie bars and bottom arms.

WOW, this is epic!!! what tyres are u running could i ask and did u need to re shape the arches at allCooper Sport with 12x6s, noticeable improvement in handling with absolutely no tramlining. I have kept the Sportspacks just in case I feel the need to put them back on though.
