   wanna lower car 40mm allround. mainly to fill the arches a bit better. i;m currently running 205gti alloys on 45 profiles. is there any chance of scrubbage on full lock? or should i go for 30mm lowering?

   are the gti alloys 15's?
   
   I ran 195/45/15s -60mm, and only scrubbed once on full lock when cornering pretty hard. 90 deg bend going up a hill.
   
   So i highly doubt it buddy

   nothing serious. mine only slightly rubs the front on full lock as one of the arch liners is coming away abit. go 40, you wont even notice a 30mm drop tbh

   This looks like the perfect height - looks wise. I'm planning on dropping mine 35mm with 195/45/ 15's. (only 35mm due to killer hympies )

    Are you getting just the springs? I went for Apex £60 on the bay.
