dont go to low as it will affect your handling and the front steering rack arms etc

If you lower the car, you effectively RAISE the roll centre, so it will roll more round corners

Google it, if you don't believe me.

OK, so long as you know, it's your car, after all.
Some folk like to LOOK good, others want the best performance, and you can't always have both Look at fitting 18's to a classic: looks good, spoils the ride.
