fk fronts are very low, mines, icys, and someone else on here got the 40/40 kit, and the fronts down at least 60 (so i put -40 p1 springs on front, its a bit higher, but still pretty low as the shortened shocks compress the springs a bit)

just let it bed in for a couple of weeks before u assume it hasn't dropped, it does take a little while for the springs to adjust to having the cars weight on them.
Seen may peoples cars drop over time when they've fitted new springs

Fitted a full FK suspension kit to my car, supposedly -60 at front -40 at rear. But I fitted the fronts and it literally did drop a good 60 if not 75 so the front wheels ( only standard 14" alloys at the mo) were under the arches by 10mm or so. However the rears I have just fitted today and I wud say it looks as if its dropped 20-30mm max. The wheels aren't under the arches but about level wiv em. Is this right? It is possible however I have been sent the wrong kit and I have the -75/-50 which wud explain the front bein very low, but again the back??? just don't seem low enough.

Now assuming I have the -75mm at front and -50mm at rear. Wud 16" alloys 7" wide with 195/45/16 rubber on fit at the front and rear without any problems. ( Thinking on Team Dynamics 16" Tornados ET45...wot ya think?) The front suspension is quite hard so not much movement. The rear still has a fair bit of movement but is harder than standard.

Comments appreciated

cheers

Matt
