Hi all,

My Nova is currently lowered 60mm on standard 13's with plenty of clearance. (see Avatar/project thread, at work so can't load my photobucket :( )

Will I have any clearance issues going 100m on standard 13" skinny wheels?

i went 100mm on 14 steelies without any arch work on a corsa b, shortened shocks is a must though or it will bottom out all the time

I'm 60mm on 13s at the moment and there's about half a foot between the floorpan/sump and the road.

Dan is that really 100-? As my wheels are much more in the arches...

yea i bought the springs at trax last year and fitted them there,

Drove home on them then bought coilovers so only seen about 500 miles,

That was on the standard shocks aswell
