Im lowered 60mm all round on FK Supertec kit on 16" Team Dynamic Monzas. Theyre et45 but i got rubbing pretty much everywhere when springs compressed! Had to have to arch inners out and arches flared all round. Now i only get rubbing on full lock with a passenger or two. Was undrivable without the arch work, had to put the 14" sport rims back on, and that was flipping low! Looks the dogs though, low on 16" rims is, IMO the way forward!

ive lowered mine 40mm on 16s only trouble i have is with 3 people in the back going over potholes at speed!!

apart from that its fine

mines lowered 30mm all round on 15" and the arches are catching the side of the alloys a t rear don't no why

depends what offset and also what width of tyre surely.

would std springs and koni shocks with unmodded arch's cause probs for 16/45/195's with an ET40

im on 16's lowered 60mm at the rear and 45 at the front with no scrubbage watsoever on g-max gas shocks and springs

cheers m8 let me know how u get on with the 40mm lowering

I've just ordered my Spax -40mm kit and I'm on 16's so will let you know how I get on. 60mm is too low if you wanna carry people, my mate is lowered 60 on 15's and he has problems.

40mm on 16's is poo. Get60mm, looks 100 times better

and have u got any probs with scrubbing mate

I've got 16's and I'm lowered 60mm front and rear on standard arches!

I do yeah cos there et40.

No probs with people in the back though. REar seats came out 2 years ago :lol: Made way for ICE.

I've had all the rear arches cut away now. Still scrubs, but i've left a bolt in the rear arches (rest is bonded cos of the smoothed skirts). Once thats gone, it'll be fine.

looks the biz lowered on 16's mate do u have any probs with scruffing on the wheel arches when people are in the back?

-35mm to -40mm is a nice drop on 16"s.

Under the pages there. Standard sus on 15"s, then lowered -35 (Front) -40mm (rear) on 15"s, then the same drop on 16"s

ive got 16' alloys on my motor with standard suspension but i want to lower it can i lower it? without modding the arches and if so by how much or should i get 15' wheels then lower it and by how much cheers guys
