Yep, thats my rat

8o ish mm I think, tbh its hard to tell

Hate to brake it to you but its gonna rub that low on 195/45/16's , I tried for years and just destroyed tyres and my inner arch's were rubbed down to shiny metal...

Had to go for 195/40's in then end, at £100 a corner its an expensive business being low

Its also a bad knightmare trying to get it in anywhere with the slightest incline.

I wouldnt recommend it lol, im just addicted to low cars lol

When I was getting my springs I originally bought 80mm (for my GSi nova) it rubbed to death so I got some 70mm made up and they were identical and both receipts just said x-low custom springs.

Rear coilovers is the way forward, its what i'll be running after x-mas
