how can i measure how low my sax is? is it true that you can find out by measuring the gap between the wheel n wheel arch? if so what measurment would it be between wheel n wheel arch for a 60mm drop. this is jst with normal vtr rims on. i ask because i took my car to a garage a while bk to lower my car 60mm alround, but i think its more like 40 rear n 50 front.

thanx guys

you cant,as people have different tyre ratios and sizes so youll have to take a guess or park up next to a saxo who does know what its lowered by!

measure from the wheel arch to teh lip on the hub that the wheel sits on. should be 400mm standard so -60mm would be 340mm.

one click?

you better tell your parents to take them to court when your car kills you

Ive used the front and rear jacking points to get a good indication of how much.

Obviously you need to know what a standard one sits at first though.

thats not 105mm mate, thats about 80-90mm max. 105 and you wouldnt see the tyre. Mines down 60 ish on the back, stripped, and it goes down to about that with the sub in the boot
