    mines lowered 60/80 And when it had 15's on... they scrubbed like a bitch. (on the rear when cornering) With spax nitroegen shocks.. Put some vtr rims 14's on... no scrubbin at all and lowered back another 20mm.
    
    Verdict: dont lower more than 60mm with 15s

    50 or 60 looks best imo. wont rub unless you have people in the car probably
