hi,
has any body got any pics of their saxos lowered at either 35mm or 40mm. smileys/smiley5.gif
Just i need an idea of what mine would look like and which one to go for.
By the way im either getting 15" or 16" alloys.
Cheers

ok well i have just seen people with 45-50mm drops with 16's and 15 inch alloys. How much would the larger size alloys scrub and also also decrease speed??

You have to go 60mm IMO, any higher and it looks standard. Just my opinion though smileys/smiley4.gif

60mm causes problems. Drive shafts, boots. Doesn't do them any good. Plus the camber will be quite bad.

-40 with 15's is supposed to be the best handling set-up too smileys/smiley2.gif

-60 looks best though smileys/smiley9.gif
