[mattrt]

k-tec have 35 or 55, im mk1 ph1 on 15" 195/45/15......

how low will i be able to go? i ndont want it silly so that any weight in the back makes it scrape.... i dont carry anyone in back alot tbh, jusst cant afford tyres left right and centre....

sure you could go 60mm with 15"s on and have no problems. a friend of mine had a valver lowered 60mm with 17"s on and it was fine

 

[mattrt]

that would be low lol i would need shortened shocks for that tho?

60mm is what u need mate... 40mm aint enough... im 40 at the mo and its not low enough!!

you should be ok on a 55mm drop - depends whether you've got loads of speed ramps round your neck of the woods..

 

[patty]

even with speed ramps u should still be fine with 55mm
