35mm any more and it scraps like mine .... lol.

I think mine is a 50mm drop and while it looks good the front wheels catch on the arches when turning and the back wheels scrub the top of the wheel arches also my magnex gets a beating pretty much every day.

just the front being lowered mate, i think the back is already a tad - enough for me!

wot make are yours? n did u get springs, or the full works?

35/40m is plenty and looks the part too. The rear is lowered 50m approx.

35mm on springs is fine.. and itll be more than enough with your 17s..

aaronc that looks wicked....... have u got springs or the full works???

The full works mate, koni shocks and springs. Torsion bar lowered 1 notch at the rear and approx 35/40m at the front.

You might as well do the full works, you dont have to go for the premium brands, go for something cheaper if you cant afford it at the moment.

Lowering Springs.. The 16v Shockers are actually very very good apparently.. even if you got new standard items, youd notice a difference..
