   now mate,
   if you look on my profile few pictures on there?
   i got standered vtr 14" alloys on and lowered 40mm all round, in my oppinion its pretty sweet works great and looks better than standered.
   hope it helped.
   good luck mate.
   Adam

   Hey it wont let me upload my picture to this thread for some reason?
   heres a link to my facebook album of my saxo... its an eastcoast with 16's on lowered 60mm at the back and 35mm at the front which is a good height to still take speedbumps at a reasonable speed.

   just make sure the back sits higher then the front. otherwise the look of the car is ruined

    think it makes more sense to have the front higher myself because of the speed bumps as i said also with my car it dosent make much of a difference because my back arches are flat whereas my front ones arre rounded so it would like different either way.

    An be carefully with ur power steering pipe as I recently discovered the rack rubs through 1 of the pipes an steering fluid pisses out. The pipe is not cheap as I found out this morning 167 quid. So be warned my friend

    That's just for the pipe from Citreon. My mate is gone put a weld on it an bend it away from the rack so that should fix it. I hope

    where are these wheels from? they are literally sex on rubber.
    
    and with lowering i think 35-40mm is best for handling and its a good look on saxos (Y)
