Not that high, if you remove the spring adjuster platform they are very low. Ledas are not fixed, although i think you need to make some rear turrets for them.

Custom ones on the rear if you want it dragging along the ground.

FK's go down something like 100mm at the front?

ive got 17's and lowered 60mm all round had had the rear arches rolled, and the plastic trim bonded on and removed all screws, no rubbing at the back unless stupid bumps, but the front scrubs like mad if i boot it round a corner. also ride is very harsh and constantly bobbing up and down! going to get some cheap 15's and swap them over every now and again

Spax Rsx, was told by the people that fit them its down 60mm didn't think they went any lower then that? not sure whether to get it lifted up a little to stop the front arch taking chunks out of the tyres!

My old Corsa GSi was on Avo's.

Fully adjustable at the rear (Bearing in mind it was running 15's)
