Lowering springs advice please



  200
Hi all, I'm gradually trying to change a lot of parts on my car to tighten it up and get the best i can out of it with what spare cash i have.

I've very recently had Timing belt, Aux belt, dephaser pulley and oil and filter change (Birchdown did an excellent job i might add). I also ordered 2 new engine mounts for the top and powerflex dogbone mounts plus 4 new spark plugs lastnight.

I'm about to order 2 new rear shocks and also want to get some lowering springs while im at it so they can be put on at the same time i change the shocks. My main concern is the wheels, at the minute i have 17's on them but will be changing to 16's when i can afford some. So my question is, how low do you think i can go with 17's on without rubbing and when i do change to 16's will it make a massive difference to the height?

Thanks, Matt


Edit - If anyone has any other ideas on little upgrades i could do or other parts i should change please feel free to let me know.

depends on the offset of the wheels. mines lowered 60mm on 17"s without any problems will soon be fitting 90mm rears.

How do I find out the offset? I've gotta admit I'm a complete noob when it comes to knowing about cars, although i won't have any problems fitting all the parts myself.
