well just bought my mk2 sax last week,only 28thou miles :-D .already has 16's,front spliter,some modded rear bumper and spoiler,just had exhaust system from longlife during week. Looking at car though i cant lower it as the bumpers already scrape up hills,and the spoiler is too much.So decided to get standard vtr alloys,spray em white,and remove the spoiler and have the standard bumpers allowing me to lower it.How many mil do you need to lower a sax on standard vtr alloys so it sits jusst above the tyre if i make sense :-s going for a more suttle look

about 50mm will get it to about the tyre mate, ive got mine 60 front and 40 rear (adjusted for install) thats just below the start of the tyre, have a look at page 13 of my progress thread for pictures

as said weight of install makes it about the right height :p

it all depends if your going to be carrying passengers and also if your going to be putting an install in

id say about 60mm front and 55mm rear if your not gonna do an install

the back end is higher as standard for handling purposes
