16'S AND 60mm may cause problems , depending on the road conditions where you will be driving. As for the arch mods , if the wheels are the correct or a decent offset none will be required. I suggest using coilovers for your suspension.

Spoiler: There is various options , one being the PSG 2 Combat spoiler which can go on top of the GSI spoiler or directly onto the tailgate.

if you need any more info or help

Apex or Fk are possibly the best suspension kits about at the moment

Apex are notorious for not dropping as much as advertised though.

Think -40mm on 17's would be a better idea

Yeah Apex dont lower what they state, it is nearly 40mm at the front but only about 20mm at the rear with a shit load of ice in the boot too

I'm lowered 60mm (Gmax kit) and 16's, no skirts tho. It dropped an even amout front and back and looks damn good in my opinion.
A guy in my street is lowered 60mm with 15's and full Combat kit.
It looks like a nightmare to drive. Only has about 1/2 inch clearance at the lowest bits!
