Will i have problems if i lower my golf mk4 1.4 60/40mm on 16's?

I would prefer it to be a 60mm drop but if there's going to be too many problems then i'll just have to put up with 40mm

cheers

You will prob get front ARB rubbing if you lower is 60mm. That would be your only problem I'd guess...

You will need adjustable ARB drop links.

You think you will need adjustable drop links for a 40mm lowering springs?

I have just put back on my standard drop links for my new eibach FARB...

I put mine down 60mm on standard !6 inch wheels nd didn't have any probs?

got about clearance for another inch before the ARB would rub that is down using 40mm springs.

Mine is this low & I get a little bit of arb rubbing when on full lock:
