spax coilovers, wound down to a single thread showing at the bottom, 13" steelies
and my car is 100% lower than the brocade one posted, had to remove my splitter as it doesnt last 5 mins
if someone wants to go measure their stock arches i have no problems taking a new measurement
Spax coilover's only lower upto 80mm, so fuck know's where your getting 160 from
this is lowered as much as they can go on spax, no thread's at bottom showing..., on 15's with 15 profile, so will sit even lower than 13's on standard ballon tyres

look at the pic of mine i posted, it wont be lower than that, as it's on the same suspension setup...
probably higher, as he said it still had a thread left, and in that pic, the coilover's are wound fully down as far as they go
