Wanna get some 16" alloys (speedlines). ET 45 or as close as possible.
Also want to lower my car 60mm.

Will they scrub?
If so what is the best offset?

And what is required to lower the car 60mm?

It's a SRi Corsa B BTW.

Price for a decent bit of kit? Don't wanna pay above £150

And is it easy to do myself?

Cheers for any replies

Best offset is et 49. reckon u will be able to lower 60mm no probs with et45.
I would get shocks and springs if ur going down 60mm. im on springs only at the moment and its not a nice ride

ATM it's down 30mm on 14" alloys. It's a really horrible ride to be honest. Really rough. I think the lad who did it didn't fit new shocks.

How much for a full set of shocks and springs?
A decent set new or secondhand?

full set ur looking £300 for a good set, £500+ for coil overs, but they are well worth there price, ull soon get bored of having it so low, which u will as its uncomfy nd a pain in the arse to drive places, but u can lower it as soon as u get to a show
