Raise the rear a touch Shaun then see how that looks with the height the front is and go from there.

Iv got another 20 threads left on mine to drop it more but never going any lower that what i am now.

Kev your insane if you want the rear any lower than that :lol:


Shaun yours sit perfect in that pic above :thumbs:

Im down somewhere between -80-90mm so the arch sits halfway down the tyre the way i like it so it looks level.

Mines never ever once rubbed once front or back even with a car full, since fitting the XE the manifolds close to the floor though :(

40 profiles are mint I love the look of them compared to 45's on pictures it doesn't really show though? & I'm really scared of the gsi bumper hitting or getting ripped off.. Or like Dan says sump?!

Shaun I don't think mines that low I've seen lower? on the rear I want to go down few more MM i want some extra low GAZ coilovers soon to slam it!!!

If you have wheels with the correct offset (ET49) you should have no issues of rubbing ect when on 40-45 profile tyres.

As for the exhaust it all comes down to the exhaust system it it self and how its fitted.

Kev, did you have any issues? Rubbing/exhaust clearance etc?

I've got 80mm front and 100mm rear too!
