If you put H&R on that advertise a 50mm drop you will find it will be around 30mm on yours which if far enough.

Wise not to go too low. 25/30mm drop is more than enough.
I found lower the front to when the lower arms are horizontal to the road, and get the rear 'level' to suit it, ie slightly raked up towards the rear.

Any lower and you will hit things in the road you would rather not...

Thumbs up H+r 50mm spring....

I have the h+r 50mm springs, work well in the rb5 and she sits at a nice height.

hi m8 if you go too low you will start getting bump steer ,50mm is too low for a road going scooby your struts will protest you are getting to serious track settings if you get that low you need to fit a roll centre adjustment kit to rid the bump steer geo
