Smaller tyres, think 40-45 profile.

[jimbob-mcgrew]

mate of mines running 15's on his with a 40mm drop which is fine, 60 drop might be a bit much tho, his suspensions solid too, so if your thinkin of a standard suspension bouncy drop, itll no doubt scrub i woulda thought.

[Connor]

what about the kits where you get 60 on the front and 40 on the rear??

[Benn]

You'll prob have to buy a spring a shock kit then a spring kit.
Low as poss isnt 40mm at the rear tho.

[retrimmer-oz]

yeh unless you dont want to change the profile of the tyres mate i think you are better of with 40mm drop!have you folded the lip in your rear arches or ground it down?

[Pistol Pete]

Get some 45 profile tyres and your arch lips sorted. Tucking is better than grinding IMO. Then drop it!!

[NovaGuy1400SRi]

Get the arch lips folded up and you should have plenty space for the Astra rims.

I currently have a set of mk4 astra sxi 16's on mine with just lips folded up, 195/45/16 tyres, sitting about 80mm at the back with plenty space ;)

cheers everyone
goin to fold the lip tomorow
and then judge how low on the rear i should go

[craig green]

Mk1's have a wider arch lip than mk2 Novas. It might be worth considering.

I can't see why it wont go lower on 50 profiles, theres fook all in 45's & 50's, not to justify the price anyway.

I've had one of my Novas dropped -60mm on Cav GSi wheels with Yoko 50 profles, no arch mods no scrubbing.
