AFAIK you can go as low as you want.

I had a 60mm kit on my SR with speedlines and it never rubbed once. Even over BIG bumps etc.

i had 60mm on speedlines and when i went over bumps whilst turning it caught the front arch and bent the lip out.

mayb this was because i had g-max as they are sort but not sure.

has anybody else had the same problem?

that will be probably because they were to soft, if they were stiffer then going low wont push them as much in the arch.

i had gmax 60mm allround and speedlines never had a problem.(standard shocks)

Too low will cause the tyres to catch on lock.

From my experience I'd say have your KONI springs pro shortened as they are nice & stiff & wont mean sacrificing the handling by using some cheap ebay spec springs just to get lower.

my mates does this. also down 60mm on gmax. doesnt do it too often tho but i reckon if he was to go any lower itl be a pain in the ass and the wing wouldnt last to long!
