how much can you lower a classic on 18" rims?
 

As above really!
Just purchased some 18" Rota GRA's with 215/35/18 rubber how much can I lower my car without rubbing or adversley affecting the handeling?

cheers in advance fellow sneters:thumb:

35-40mm springs teins etc would be good for it

Mine was lowered about 60mm on coilovers, check my garage if you wanna look. It didnt rub with one set of wheels and then i changed them and the new ones rubbed!

until you hear it scrapping :thumb:.

only messing.

i think mine is dropped around 50-60mm on coilovers. im contemplating going a little more. but my car is solid as a rock with all strut braces and some negative camber going on

what about if tour not going coilover route?

Im thinking tein lowering springs with the Kyb adustables or new std shocks with lowering springs?

thanks guys

tein springs are a good spring and lower the car about 40mm which is enough and are solid with standard shocks.

sounds good to me mate

i had sti shocks and eibachs , running 215.35.18 and it used to rub on hard cornering

Mine rubbed so much I had to take them off:cry::cry: My car is slammed though - top of the tyre is level with the arch. With my tired shocks if I ran over a twig the tyre sidewall caught the arch. The BC Coilovers on order from the groupbuy should sort this though :thumb:
