I'll measure mine at some point but will crank the front up if its too low.

What about fitting 16in wheels & tyres just for the SVA ?

Do you think my 20" X5 wheels will pass?

btw I have 145 tyres on the front (beetle chrome wheels) and 165 on the rear.

The rears are OK.

One of the fronts keeps going down. Need to replace it - or both most likely so that they match. If it possible to go to 155 on rims that currently have 145's on?

I don't know about wheels an tyres!!!

if go through the IVA then the headlights do have a minimum height 500mm from bottom of headlight to groung level. So you will fail if you drop them, maybe don't bother painting until after the iva as i'm doing... once all mods are carried out.

This is what I'll have to do I guess. Have read up on Pilgrim Speedsters Im not too impressed with the quality of the kit. Thanks for the replies.

I think Puma beams are near stock height when set to max height.

Most of the adjustment is on the down side

Could probably modifiy the beam to move the slot/grip plate though for the IVA test.
