How low should I go?

[LeeH]

Hiya Folks.
Going to purchase some lowering springs this week.
But wondered what peoples opinion was on what looks the best, 35 or 45mm.
Only got 15s on at the moment looking at some 17s though, but i beleive even with full drop its not a problem.
Thanks

Do not go to 60mm on standard shocks like i did... i hit a dip in the road and it felt like the front end was going to take off...

40mm on standard shocks front and rear for both 16" and 17" wheels will be more than enough.

different makes for springs seem to have a different effect on how low the car looks.

I think Joske on here had his lowered 35mm on spax springs, and it seemed low as hell. It looked even lower than a mates who had his down 45mm on PI springs.

i would say deck it 60mm with shocks aswell. looks amazing, but as said above ur shocks will take a lot of hard hits if u leave standards on.

otherwise 40mm maximum.
