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

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

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
