...i dont know a fcukin thing :(

Currently I have 13? alloys and standard suspension. What I want to have is 15? alloys and it lowered as far as possible ? without rolling arches (can?t afford). Could you lot advise me of what suspension to buy (not just springs, whole kit) and maybe give me a rough price of how much im likely to pay.

Cheers all,

Matt.

make sure you get the correct offset wheels (et49) then you shouldnt have a problem going down 60mm so long as you dont have massive tyres. I think i have seen people on here saying they have paid ?200 for gmax shocks and springs

so, is st49 the correct offset for a mk1 nova merit?
i always thought that if you didn't roll you're arches the lowest you would be able to go was about 30-40mm.
thanks

i had 15" vauxhall wheels on my mk1 sr, with standard arches, 185/55-15 tyres lowered 60mm and they didnt scrub on the arches, just on the shock dust cover with 2 people in the back
