Probably always get this kinda message but basically I got some 16" Mille Miglias ET45 offset with 195/45 rubber! (Corsa B Sport 1.4 16V) I know that there aint gonna be a problem with wheels straight away but what if I use FK's High Tec Sports Suspension offering a 50/75mm drop! Will I get problems with scrubbing then? I know 35mm is fine but will that low be k?

Has anyone used FK's Sport kit or can something else be recommended here?

Thanks

Thats a bummer, so what lowered amount do you rekon is possible without any arch work! I don't really wanna have to pay for any work if I was gonna then id lower and get 17's!

Can you suggest any good kits for around the £250 mark!?

Ok that sounds easy and I can do that piece of piss but doubting 75/50mm now, rekon this kit will truly lower that distance and ride will still be ok or anyone rekon it safer to opt for something like a gmax -60mm kit or the same fk kit but offering 60/40mm?

Why not blow your bugget on coil overs then you can set height as you wish to find what rubs and what doesnt.......easy.

Ok if you have the funds to do that with.
