measure was taken before and after fitting

car is stripped out 1.0 so higher than most as standard

spax coilovers, wound down to a single thread showing at the bottom, 13" steelies

and my car is 100% lower than the brocade one posted, had to remove my splitter as it doesnt last 5 mins

if someone wants to go measure their stock arches i have no problems taking a new measurement

Mines down 50mm have no rubbing at all, mudflaps are fine infact i think its way to high.

There should be minimal problems when done correctly, i.e correct offset alloys, uprated shocks. Exhaust system modified to clear rear axle and smaller centre box.

Only problems would be front splitters on speedbumps / slopes.
