Current using 30 mm apex springs. I still think it looks to high, what the lowest people have went and best springs, shocks?

Lowest about 120mm.

Best Springs = Eibach
Best Shocks = Bilsteins

INB4 People take question as more literal and give a literal answer lol at least mines on a realistic level :p

on springs, the lowest you can go is about 50-60mm

on coilovers, much lower << ;)

Lowest you can go with good springs tends to be 60mm. I use Spax SSX xtra low springs, with Apex shocks from the apex 50mm kit> Thats pretty comfortable and handles well :)

Cheers I have seen the 16v flatty 100mm drop on the back and I really like the look of it just wonder how low people have going

Dont take the back much lower than the front IMO, looks silly. Just drop an equal amount front and back. 60mm all round looks better than 60 front 90 back or something like that!

I'm going 60mm front 70mm rear as that sits pretty much flat! Plus that won't scrape TOO badly!

to be fair, mine is down 90mm at the moment, and thats about as far as it will possibly go before i start doing some serious cutting and relocating etc.
its your steering arms which become the main problem catching on everything

the rear can go as far as you like really

Quite alot of people have the rear down 80mm, but only people with massive balls like I expect LSO does, go 90mm at the front!

I'm thinking 100mm at the back and 90 up front
