Depends on the car really. i think some gtis may have been fitted with the anni arb.

mines lowered -80 all round and no rubbing. only time it has rubbed is when it was -120mm :D and that was only on very very very full lock (i.e. the last inch of turn in the steering wheel)

Anni arb? What is the difference?

well my mate had an anni and he was able to lower his well over 100 with the standard arb... think there was only a few turns of the coilovers left. mine i can go just over 100 i think with no arb rub, just a bit impractical for were i live...

not sure then...  :grin:
