Depends on what tyre size you running tbh.

My old nova sri was 80mm on the back with 195/45x15" tyres on my cav slabs with no rubbing issues but had to have the arch lip folded and i reckon it could of gone lower without any issues.

But i went a tad more extreme with my corsa sri which was running the corsa 3 spokes which iirc run 175/55x14" tyres which are the same as nova 3 spoke tyres sizes and i had it slammed 120mm without rubbing. lol

Go for adjustable coilovers and drop it as far as you can, heres mines on 16s. Maybe 110mm?

please note coilovers, such as wilson's need the inner arches/bodywork bashing/re-turreting to fit the coilovers most of the time; as you end up 'making' more room anyway..

Yeh never thought to say that. Iv had to do work to the arches to get mine that low. All 4 arches have been rolled and seam sealed, inner arches have been bashed in the back. Also doing the rear turrets this winter.

I have corsa sport 3 spokes with standard size tyres and lowered 60mm and mine catch on the N/S/F? I'm gonna get some standard nova SR steelies with 45's I think if I can.
