Evenin all,

Just wondering if anyone could tell me how low a 5 door will go. Dont wanna be spending too much on it so as little arch work as possible would be best...

Found 60 mil springs but will that be too low on the back for rear passengers?

cheers all!

First start with the right offset wheels offset et49, minimum et45 (et = how much they stick out from the arch) so maybe look for some standard vaux alloys. As for carrying people in the back i dont know, im down 80mm but have good rear setup so mines fine. If your going 60mm you would need shocks aswell or its gunna be bouncey as hell on standard shocks. Have a look through some other threads for more info.

Hi mate, pretty much as said above, its all about the offset of the wheel/tyre. I have known up to 16"s to go 60mm without a prob, anything with an offst of et49-45 would be ideal
