Question

Alright,

I have to options - drop my car by -35mm or by -50mm. Some have told me that -50mm is too much and i will have problems in the near future.
However, i have seen a car lowered 35mm and thot it could go down more.

Can anyone give me some advice on whats best???

Also any pics of cars that have been dropped 35 or more would be appreciated

Cheers

I've lowered it by 35mm by fitting a leda kit. the space between the wheelarches and the tyres is a finger. I wouldn't suggest to lower it more as you could incur in contacts between the two parts.

Depends if you are talking pre or post MY00 - the MY01 rides higher. Mine/Carolyn's MY01's are lowered 40mm front/27mm rear. Leda/ScoobySport don't recommend going any lower.

Hello there

I think i have seen your car at my uni (carpark on the lefthand side of the entrance).

Anyway, 35mm will be enough i think.
