i believe it can, although the whees may need to be the correct offset (35??) to avoid rubbing

you should be able to lower 60mm with no problems as long as they tyres arent something stupid like 225 or bigger width

nice 1 m8. Just 1 last thing, is it true you have to watch the car (go slowy )when going thru road bumps. I aint got a bofy kit but I herd is more likely to break than standard suspension

izat true??

nah the only thing you have to watch when lowering is your exhaust catching, my cars down 40mm and the centre box catches on high speed bumps

I lowered the front 90mm on 14s, I wouldn't recommend it though! 60mm will be fine.

watch your middle box over humps and your front bumper down steep drives etc ! it looks good - 60 but comes with the hassle! you have been warned

ye i got 16" wheels lowered 60mm with no bodykit and i have to go slow on bumps as it catches the middle back box. i sometimes have to take certain bumps to the side so it dont scrape lol. and also if u go to quick the front mud flaps bottom out on the ground but doesnt do no damage.
