beach Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 i would say 20mm is subtle, 30mm is obviously lowered. from there down looks heavily lowered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 In my experience, it's impossible to go lower than about 55mm on the front, that's with the tyres level with the arch. People say they've gone to 70 or so, but I think that's just guesswork. If you go any lower than that you'll lose the wheels inside the arches and be unable to turn the wheels very far without major fouling. The driveshaft also starts to scrape at about this height too.Get a set of coilovers and lower it to what you think, if it rubs, raise it up, if it doesn't slam it a bit more.

Adam Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 To get the tyres level with the arches at the rear, you will need to go lower than 60mm i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
