   Theres loads of threads on this kinda thing. Your gonna need lowering springs and a torsion bar adjustment. VTR's can be lowered alot more than flatarches without needing arch modifications. Id say 50mm would look great.

   u cant reely lower it till you get the arch lip cut off or hammer it up, cause i got vtr's on and i get rubbing if there is 2 ppl in the back
