im sure u all see lowering threads all the time but i have a slight question...i have corsa c sxi rims 195/50/15 on my corsa b but the tyre was slightly touching the shock (left rear) so i had to use 3mm spacers on the rear so just curious if i lowered the car 60mm would there be any rubbing?
also which suspension is recommended thanks?

Get lower profile tyres. 45's just double check with other users on here that will be ok though. I'm pretty sure my mate shaun has 45's on his 15's

should be fine, et 46 15'' wheels 50 profile tyres.
most people who say it will rub are just talking crap/ hear say...
if you're that worried, get 45 profile tyres.

@ ben - but my current tyres have loads of tread on them...how much would rolling the arches cost roughly?
