i want to lower my car and i have 15" on it im planning to keep em that size so will it be best to lower it 50mm or 60mm? i wont be getting a body kit for it so that dont matter but my mate sed i might have to have the arches rolled if i want to lower it even 50mm on 15" is this true ? has this happened to anyone? is not what is better 50mm or 60mm?
p.s does lowering cause any problems when driving?
thanks ppl

If you're running a 195/50 tyre or better still a 195/45 and your wheels are an ET 49 offset you should be able to go 50mm no propbs, 60mm may be fine also but as said above the two top most rear arch bolts may need to be removed.

just remember you're gonna feel every little bump in tha rode if you drop it 50 or 60 and you'll learn to hate drain covers to death, I suggest find a friend whos done it first and get them to let you drive their car for a few miles to see what it's like
