How low can you go on a set of 15" banded steels.

All depends on the offset of the wheels and how much work you will need to do to the arches.

However low you decide to go, remember to adjust and test your brake bias accordingly. :afro:

Go as low as you like - it's only too low when you can't drive it any more :)

Mines about 40mm below stock - it still clears speed bumps and I can easily load the dogs (60kg) into the rear without it rubbing.
