mine im my owner gallery is dropped 45mm on pi springs on 17s with et45, looked great but u will always want ur car lower :(

Heres mine down 75 mm on 17s, 55mm at the back. Im either trimming the arches or selling the wheels (u2u me offers), it rubs on full lock. :thumbs:

here is a few pictures of mine down 60mm on 17"

u do realise everytime u hear that buffing sound the tyres rip off all the underseal in the arch leaving bare metal exposed to rust?

got mine dropd 60mm on 17s , had 2 get rear archs rolld but it still rubs a little wen i fly rond bumpy roaeds

DIY!

how much will it cost to get it trimmed?

will need 2 trim, mine rubs with a few in the bk on drivers side,

mine are et45 aswell. will i be ok dropping it 60 then on standard arches all round? or will i need to trim it and stuff?

17s lowered 40

If there et45 you'll be fine witha -40mm drop! I was on my et45.
the closer you are to et49 the easier it is to go lower:thumbs:

with the origanal archs on the bk tyre sits well inside the archs, oh and it doesnt rub atall even with a full car.

no-one got any pics then?

ok, thanks

Will tell you how my idea for 17's with 60mm drop goes.

drop it 35mm, i think ull be safe then, my mate had 17s and either a 35 or 40mm drop and that dident rub, looked nice as well

When i had 17s on my old corsa they rubbed on the rear arches and that was lowered 35-40mm. You will need minor rear arch mods. Take off the plastic outer arches about 5 or 6 10mm nuts on inside. Draw a line with a marker pen just below the holes where the plastic arch threads go through and angle grind off up to the line then tap the lip out and underseal the bear metal. Then with a sharp knife get your plastic outer arches and cut the lip off where it curls in so they are flat. Put the plastic arches back on using a good silicon glue. Put you plastic nuts back on and grind off the rest of the thread that is showing on the top middle 3 threads. Now it will only scrub with people in the back on bumpy roads.:thumbs:
