    About -60 is the max but you still may have slight problems with passengers. If you fit coilovers lower -70 or -90 not very practical and you probably won't get away with any passengers. I know people claim to have gone lower but not if you still want to use the car day-day.

    i have heard that is you take ur drum off take it to a garage then they can skim it for ya and then you dont have to roll your arches as much
    not sure if this is true but could be worth an investigaton
