I've got a Corsa 'C' and its running on 17" alloys - with 40profiles fitted

I was going to lower it by 40mm on just lowered springs, but ive been thinking what is the lowest i can go - i would change the complete suspension system if necessary - 80mm? is this possible - please tell me what i could lower it to - i have the front lower irmscher spoiler on

cheers

80mm is possible on coilovers but this will need extensive archwork

60mm is a safe bet but ive youve got £££ then go for coilovers and an 80mm drop

beware with the front - its likely to catch! a m8 of mine is on - 40mm coilovers, although it looks and feels much lower. he's running 17's and standard front.
im on std suspension with irmscher front and his is much lower.
