    Me and Tonto_VTR went on a mission to find out how low ours actually were, his ended up something stupid like -140mm on bump stops and mine was not far off so we called -110mm.

    This is my old Saxo VTS, I have no idea how much it was lowered by, but it was this low on 17's, no scrubbing at all, I had to do alot of arch mods though, just to make sure.
    
    I know its all kitted up, but this was 5 odd years ago now, and kitted Saxo's etc were all in, I would never kit a Saxo to this extent now.

    Search for LEE_VTR1 and look at his old Porsche Grey Saxo
    
    That was 100mm on the front on coilovers and 110 on the rear.
    
    Thats the lowest ive seen on here by far, most people only go really low on the rear without doing much more than 60 on the front

    i bought my car that low, the idiots cut the front springs n dropped torsion bar as low as they could :/ and for the carage to fit the new suspension they had to get 5 workers to lift it up to get the jack under it lol

    Mines surprisingly good over speed bumps, only touches on occasions. Just need to take it slowly and diaganolly
    Although I never drive with 4 people and rarely with 3.
    I have to get over a large speed bump to get to my flat!! LOL
    
    Had it up in the air at work and noticed that the bottom arms go up from the subframe fto the hubs! LOL
    
    
    
    Also the rear suspension travel is minimal

    Do any of you guys get rubbing? how do you deal with it?
    
    I'm lowered Aprox 50 at the front and 60 at the back.
    
    If i have a person sitting in the back, it rubs on the wheel arch liners.
    
    I'm running 195/45/15 wheels on a VTR. On Spax suspension set to Rock Hard
