you could go lower than that! ! ! don't waste the potential of the coilovers! lol

suppose it depends on what the roads around your way are like?!?!?

what kit did you order and what wheels are they?

there only the highsports...was very tempted by the silverlines.

i've got porsche teledials, getting the lip polished with a the rest metallic blacky grey

my adapters are large so even tho the wheels aren't that wide they sit just inside my arches :)

thats LOW!!! have you got any pics of that?? would be interesting to see.

yeah me too just looking for about a 60 drop, although i know i'll have to see how low it will go :D

they can drop it 100mm, but i'm thinking there would be a few issues if you went that low

u would have to get ur arches rolled if u wanted 2 go that low, my mates scrubbs the arch the odd time if u hit a hard enuf bump, an that 92mm, so just think wot 100mm wud b like an he has 15'' rims with that.

low

the lower the better in my opinion, i have the silverlines and have dropped it by 70mm and it sooo cool. would like to go lower but the roads are impractical! i dont get any rub on the arches but there is literally no gap between!

there is always an issue when it comes to modding my car.....mother lol, she hates it, especially my black wheels, she claims the just look like the spare wheel.

my coilovers came today, so that wasn't long :)
just waiting on my wheels, think there going to be a few wheels tho, well worth the wait.

you car loos awsome mate, liking 70 mm alot, my mate works at a garage s were just going to get it on the ramp and play around with heights, although he just decked his gti.....and couldnt get it off the ramp lol
