16" 60mm

but if the alloys are 45 offset, then it would have to be a 60/40 setup unless you do arch work

I'd say 60mm on 16's. Thats what I've got and it suits a Corsa perfectly

I've got 40mm on 17's and i wouldn't do that because my wheels rub like anything.

would 16" on 60mm springs and 17" on 40mm springs require arch work?

15's with 195/45 tyres, dropped 40mm

No rubbing even with a full load. Personally i would do 15s with 60mm drop if your keeping the bodywork standard, but if ur gonna change to a kit, dependin on which one i would ie reiger rs go 60mm with 16's. psg2 60mm with 17's

Oh i have done no arch mods

-40mm springs sound the best option to me...but when you consider I could get -60mm springs for the same price...hmmm

Kano's car looks just right on the front there

I have some TSW razors, I think they are around ET 35-38, I think maybe my corsa would look too low with -60 springs though??

Picture request pleeeaase

Theres no such thing as TOO LOW!! Mine sits nowhere near low enough, if I could afford coilovers then ad start at the bottom and raise it till it can just drive..... mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

So how would the handling differ between -40mm and -60mm?

Could do with finding this out as I'd like to order my springs end of the week..

Hmm i'm guessing that down 60mm i'd be catching the herefordshire speed humps a lot

40mm is a stiffer ride
60mm you will feel everbump and stuff

also if your not upgrading your shocks 40mm is your best option because they will not wear them out as quick
