    What problems will one be facing with the car being lowered this much?
    Damaged rear beam.?
    Im aware that it has to be adjusted back up.
    Car will be a daily driver and wont have a lot of weight in it. Mostly me and another person on occasion.
    Thanks.

    Just more wear and tear on the suspension and chassis, and it'll handle shit

    for a daily drive i wouldnt personally lower it 100mm, your probalby going to have to have to cut/remove the arch liners and geta lot of scrubbing as the car goes along. good luck!

    Exactly, you cannot go this low as the wishbones sit on the chassis therefore there is absolutely no movement hence the car is dangerous.
