You shouldnt have any problems with a 60 drop at the front! Unless you are using very wide tyres!

Just do one thing though! Once fitted go to a good place and get the steering geometry checked and adjusted. Not just tracking but camber and toe as well.

9x16 wheels all round. Pictures say it all ;)






this wins the prize for most impractical  car ever... cant even go over an ant and has no wing mirrors. (and to top it off it has a vento front! :lipsrsealed:)

Now I've got coilies and it's as low as I've got it, I wouldn't change it to anything higher. It's borderlining impractical but I can get most places fine good job m splitter holds up well against the harsh floor. Mind you, I have to stay out of multistory car parks now lol!

That looks great and i'd be very happy with that height and stance.  Mind made up, just got to decide on which kit now!
