hey, i need to get my car lowered but was wondering how far, i dont want it to look stupid as i need to drive the car everyday, so practicality would be good. i am looking at 60mm coz my car rides high as it is and 60mm just sounds good. What do you reckon?
Thanks

Re: lowering my car
the normal lowering drop for nice driving without any hastle is 40mm any more and you might get scrubbing so its not worth it tbf

Re: lowering my car
depends what wheels u got mate - 40mm is perfect for any generic wheels (like Fox or any other alloy brand) and you can get away with doing this on standard shocks (just need the springs)
if u want a real nice look 60mm is the way 2 go but u will defo need some form of vauxhall wheels (with an et49 offset) and will need some shortened shocks as well or it will ride like a bag of poo
