I was just wondering if anyone knows approximately how low id have to go at the back to get my arches to cover where the bottom of the tread is on my 195/45/16s

About 60mm will do it:
That's an Apex Sport kit.

Ooo, its so tempting! I only just got all new suspension and it didnt look too bad with only the rear springs and shocks and only the front springs.
Arches at the back came flush with the top of the tyres
Mind you, it only lowered around 18mm at the front for a set of 30mm lows all round.
Then i put the new shocks in the front and the back raised itself back up again. Looks like i havent lowered the car at all and in fact maybe raised it.
Just shows how taking short cuts doesnt work. I couldnt get anything more than 30mm lows anywhere local and i couldnt be bothered importing.
Probably wouldnt have paid off anyway given our ride height restrictions, but 60mm might have done just nicely.

Youre right, they are cheap. I paid 3 times the amount of the new ones for mine

Thanks for the tip. Its sometimes difficult to find people who deliver worldwide though. So presuming i went with 60s, can i keep my standard length shocks? since they were even more expensive

You can keep your standard shocks on but with 60mm lowering springs it will be an awful ride. A full kit is always recommended.
