Fitted a full FK suspension kit to my car, supposedly -60 at front -40 at rear. But I fitted the fronts and it literally did drop a good 60 if not 75 so the front wheels ( only standard 14" alloys at the mo) were under the arches by 10mm or so. However the rears I have just fitted today and I wud say it looks as if its dropped 20-30mm max. The wheels aren't under the arches but about level wiv em. Is this right? It is possible however I have been sent the wrong kit and I have the -75/-50 which wud explain the front bein very low, but again the back??? just don't seem low enough.
Now assuming I have the -75mm at front and -50mm at rear. Wud 16" alloys 7" wide with 195/45/16 rubber on fit at the front and rear without any problems. ( Thinking on Team Dynamics 16" Tornados ET45...wot ya think?) The front suspension is quite hard so not much movement. The rear still has a fair bit of movement but is harder than standard.
Comments appreciated
cheers
Matt

just let it bed in for a couple of weeks before u assume it hasn't dropped, it does take a little while for the springs to adjust to having the cars weight on them.
Seen may peoples cars drop over time when they've fitted new springs

fk fronts are very low, mines, icys, and someone else on here got the 40/40 kit, and the fronts down at least 60 (so i put -40 p1 springs on front, its a bit higher, but still pretty low as the shortened shocks compress the springs a bit)
