I've got mine down 70mm on springs and shocks... drives fun with both standard 14" wheels and 7.5x16's... want to go a bit lower really but would be too impractical. Not scraping at the moment but not far off!

if your running standard wheels get some spacers on them it will make it look loads better when lowered!
