Hey just new to the site bvut am looking for some info on lowering my car!!

I no where am getting it done n how much its goin to cost but the one thing am not sure of is how much to lower it!!

i was thinkin either 40 or 60mm

but my concern is that if i get it lowered 60mm will it rub if i have weight in the back...dnt want to get it lowerted n then find out it scraps its arse...theres only standard alloys on the now but will be gettin 15s on next month!!

any advice would be great on wat u would recommend or pics of saxos lowered 40 n 60 mm would be great so i can see them

ta much

15's down 40mm will be fine. wont nee any arch work. You should be ok on 60mm too, but may just rub with a full car. But it would prob be easily remedied by just removing arch liners.
Have you an idea of what alloys you are after?

depends if you have a full car a lot.. if you dont personally id go 60, if you always got a lot of people in the car go 40, or if your in between go 50.

im down 50 and i wish i went 60 tbh.
