How low can you practically go?

Post by bikerboywill »

i have a polo 6n thats pretty standard right now and am going to get coilovers in the next couple of months and was wondering what the lowest you can go without scrubbing on speed bumps and stuff? im going to have 15" wheels with 195/50 tyres and want to go as low as possible without scrubbing on everything.

195/50 is the wrong tyre size to begin with. It needs to be 195/45 or the speedo will be out and it will most certainly scrub if lowered

60mm ish is probs the lowest
