mines dropped 60mm on 16's mate. so long as your wheels are the right offset and you get some very low profile tyres they probably wont rub either... until you get some mates in the back that is! | |

i'd say your best lowering 60mm on 16's, the arch sits perfectly on top of the wheel and theres very little rubbing at all. | |

ahh i dont no what to do, is it worth gettin a kit? or just use springs. is lowering as easy to job to pull off - one of m8s has done his car - but i cant trust him doin mine. how much am i looking at 2 spend on average if i get a kit or springs? i just dont want to be ripped off. john | |
