Im currently lowered 40mm and the car is looking quite nice like it...
However Ive got my old 13" steelies on at the moment and its bought it down more as you would expect and I really like how low its sitting... Havent't got a good pic as it looks shit with them on really.
If I went 60mm on the alloys in the pic once I've got them back from being sprayed would the fronts be in the arches?
And would it sit about the same as 40mm on 13" wheels? My alloys are 15"
Thank you

It looks lower because of the tyres being bigger than what normal people have lol, I like my ballons though!

No way is that 40, that is 50/60. Did you buy the kit new?
If you could get the front lower you would have to go for smaller tyre sidewalls at least, but i dont think your get the front much lower tbf.

Bought them brand new, they are FK 40mm springs, I can get a pic of the car on the 13's and show you how low its sitting now?
You really don't think I'll get it much lower?

10mm maybe 20 if you change the tyres. Rear will go down further again if you change the tyres.
IIRC some models are a few mm lower anyway so maybe that kit is for those models that are lower already if you understand me.

Yeah I know what you mean but I thought it was only the Gsi that was made lower?
20mm iirc?
May just keep it at the said 40 with those wheels on and just put up with it not looking as low as with the steelies lol Thanks!
The centre box on the exhaust scrapes over bumps and going up or down steep sudden hills the the steelies on?
