Wont be much space and the exhaust might be annoying hitting the beam constantly

Drive a stupidly low car for a few weeks then see how you feel, nothing worse than going to get petrol / go shopping etc and finding out you can't get in

yea true, im 60mm at the moment and will definatly be going 90mm, so do you think an extra 20mm say so 110mm would be worth it?

Think 90mm is max! seen a 100mm before!, go lower and springs will be pointless

true, 90mm it is then, iv got uprated shortend dampers and IMO 60mm is a plesant enough ride, so 90mm should be ok.

over 90mm is more or less impossible without major arch surgery. raising the inner arch.

with my 90mm rear springs and speedlines theres only around 1 cm above the top of the tyre to the top of the inner arch
