Would that have anything to do with them being different engines?

well my mates car is lowered 50mm and we measured the difference and strange as it might seem it was about 58mm lower than his so we did some calculations and this was what we came up with!!! when its lowered 60mm it does not even go onto the tyre!!!!

what if your mates springs arnt actually 50, fair enough it looks ace but 120 mm is like that carabic blue gsi on the chrome speedlines and that was quite a bit lower than that, dunno if anyone has got pics.

Yeah but i mean it may not be a true 50 mm .... as yours may be a true say 80 mm... if his have actually only lowered his car 20 - 30 then theres your 50 mm difference ...

My old Corsa was -60mm with 16's (Gmax kit/Speedlines) I got scrubbing from the rear passenger side arch with 3+ people in the car. Also the front mudguards going down kerbs etc.
I wasn't set up for optimum perfomance/handling tho, more looks as it was only a 1.2 Corsa.

not sure if its rubbin on the nuts as they are really short anyway, think its on the actual arch liner as there isnt much of a gap between wheel + arch liner. looks fookin mint tho imo
