you can go as low as you want........As long as you do the arch mods to allow it. If you want to go low without much mods, get some 195 45 17 tyres (they do exist!!) and some 70mm or 80mm springs, my mates was like this, The rims were in the arch and yes it did rub a bit.... But who cares. It looked awesome!!!!

There was a pink Nova in TV with 17" Mille Miglias on with a 100mm drop on the rear so it can be done

Ask Dj_yp2k (something like that). He's got 19's on his car (yellow one on here somewhere) and reckons he could get 20's to fit as well.!

yeah he's got the wide arch kit on this thats why he can fit them on..ive done the arches at the rear but nothing to the front yet,so i could drop it about 120mm on the back but no more than say 50/55mm on the front? :?
