U think u'd get away with no major mods to lower -60 at front with 17s? on a corsa b, 17s at et45 with 40mm profile tyre and -60mm with gmax springs/shocks, 1.2 8v engine weight, you think you'd get away with just trimming the inner arch lip , and de bolting the arches? also what u think on still getting a full load in the car and wether it be a good idea to get a strut brace

yer but at the front its all coverd in the plastic anyways with the inner arch being there aswell, at the back yeah i was going to angle grind the metal arch right up to the bolt holes ten knock it out a little,

just meaning the front,

and i duo about gmax springs how much give and how much give in the shocks are there, they aint adjustable, at mo i have fk -40 front gmax -40 back

fronts got about 1.5inch gap between narch and tyre and the backs about .5inch between arch and tyre,, too high!

as for how bumpy it would be? and a strut brace?

With 17's ans a 45mil offset your best taking the plastic arches off removing the stoods and bonding the arches back on.
This is dropped 60 mil with 16's with 45mil offset VERY CLOSE but no scrubs

i was 60mm on et48's without any trouble or work being done to the fronts.
only thing was that the tyre caught on the arch liner ever so slightly, when reversing on full lock.

not so easy for the rears though

take the top few bolts out and bond it back on. also probably need to chop the arch liner about and re-underseal up in the inner arch between the panels
