ok, but its actually imposible to go any lower than about 120mm i reckon as when ive had a full car and its droped to about that, the underside of the arches actually sit on top of the tyres.

the only way you could go that low is by cutting the inner arches out and making new ones

100mm in my opinion, on 16s is impossible as tyre is resting on arch. with 40 series also

Rubbish, you can take the springs out and it still won't foul the arches...
