easy guys,
i miss the lowered car ride, i have recently got a corsa sport 1.6. its got the 14in standard sport rims on it, i was just wondered if i lowered if 40mm how much clearance wud i have because i have a dip to get up on my drive way, how ever it does scrap now and i still have a bit of clearance.
if any one has some pictures that would be wicked, also are sports lowered at all, i know gsi are but wasnt sure is the sport was?
cheers mike

well i wouldnt go 40mm as 40mm on 15s is extremly low, i would say 30 mm and it would be as low as 60mm on 16's

well my old corsa had problems at is was lowered 40 on 15 with low profiles but depends on the springs, not all will lower exactly. u could try 40 on 14's but u may have a problem when it comes to speed humps and some drive ways
