hello bud i am on coilovers and my front is 90mm rear is 80mm its on tsw stealths at mo.they dont touch arches. But the rear axle beam is close to exhaust. if new rubbers are on and not saggy old ones this will not be problem. you will have to adjust the brake load valve on rear axle as rear wheels locking up at high speeds is not funnyhttp://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=27064.0 hope this helps paul

width/offset/tyre size are important when it comes to scrubbing!

I'm lowered on 20mm eibachs and run 15*7 ATS Cups with 195/50 tyres and get arch contact with weight in the back over bumps.
