you wouldnt be able to go 90mm on the front (the kit does say 90mm but doesnt, usually goes down about 75mm)

you could go down about 70mm, would sit nice and low, but would be very close..

also you could go low on the rear as the wheels are the correct offset (et49), but i would intest in some 45 profile tyres for the rear aswell..

check my silver corsa b out in my garage dude, i was loww on softstars (same offset of et49, and 45 profile tyres)

Have you not just read the thread?

You can go lower on the back but not really any lower on the front.
