Dont have any pics but my new car is on 100mm front springs & Avo Coilovers all the way down at that back so maybe 130mm or so on Cav slabs (195/45/15) and that doesnt rub at all unless its a full car

if you can get wait till the weekend ill wind it right to the bottom to show you

60 60 would be best for a daily driver, best combination for looks and driveability.

on the front you cant go down 100mm. lowest at a push with arch work is 80mm

thats no way 100mm, more like 80mm. get some and get a ruler out and measure the difference between them and standerd

It sais 100mm, therefore i believe it to be 100mm.
If the 100mm is more like 80mm down then the 80 is more like 60mm?
Ive got some 90mm rears and coilovers coming mate. Should be lower on the front than the rear so lets see how i get on :-)

So 60 / 60 drop then ? Any side profile pics and tbh there's not many speedbumps near me would 60/90 look odd ?

60/90 looks fine, probably what I'll lower mine by.

Aint a clue what mine was lowered by, but in the end i couldnt get over speedbumps.

Couldnt live like that again.. go for 60mm all around for looks and ok practicality
