matt_arosa16v Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 I'd say -30mm max but I have know a few lowering their Arosa's by 40mm on some decent springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arvid Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 max advised lowering is -40mm, however when you don't upgrade the shocks they will wear faster when you have lowering springs fitted. You can fit the springs now and when the shocks wear out upgrade them with sports version, however a sport lowering kit complete with shocks and springs will be cheaper than buying the seperately.
