    Hey guys,

    May i ask if anyone has a r53 mcs with the front bumper deflector scratching the kerb or speed bumps ( i am riding on stock suspensions =]), if you do do u just remove the deflector and how do u do it?
    also recently i have found that my mcs rear is a little lower than the front, does that mean my rear shocks are knackered and need replacing?

    Thank you in advance
    Alex

    the back end will look lower that the front - no issues with dampers I would say.....

    as for the front lip - yeah it can rub on speed bumps etc, nothing to worry about, but as Ben says, you can dremel it off it you want... yes nod:
