60mm. Just make sure you get the right offset on any wheels you buy and you'll have no problems.

Backbox wont catch anyway, centre of mine caught when on the 14's. but now its on15inch Cav Cesaro's and doesnt catch i dont think. Mines lowered 60mm all round. No pics though, as ive just had rear changed today from 40mm to 60mm.

Cheers Would have a decent set of coilovers or shocks and springs but being 15 i cant afford as much as most people as the young modders on here will know what it feels like so it will just have to be 60mm all round springs but will do the job

What suspension kit have you got and how much you selling it for? Cheers Scott

Go 60mm on the cheap... just buy springs if you can't afford coilovers.
