the tyre is hitting the arch in that pic, u wud only be able to go that low using coilovers and at that rate it'd be unpractical, 60's ure safest with 16s 75 at a push on coilovers i'd say.... check my garage for lowered 60 on 16s its got FK 60/40 kit on it, its settled now so the pics at the bottom show it lower than those at the top...

i have 60mm apex kit with nova springs and it aint that low at the rear, the front just sits under the arch but the rear could do with maybe another 20mm, but its probs just apex kits, the ride is shite aswell but the handling is class
