Mine was lowered -60mm all round..

Had 195/45/15's on when i bought it.. used to scrape with people in the back, and catch the front arches on tight bends.

Changed to 185/55/14's And it didn't scrape once. Even with 5 people in, speedbumps whatever.

Changed wheels / tyre's again to 195/50/15's, and it was terrible. Caught the arches, the liners front and back, and worse of all, used to scrape the front bumper brackets under load. Couldn't drive quick anywhere, always worried about scraping.

Since then i've stripped it, and lifted it to -35mm.. and I can finally just drive. Instead of looking out for this, or dodging that pothole.

Don't do it =] It ruin's the fun factor of the car.
