    As much as you like but minimum 40mm to fill the arch gaps

    Although she does look very high at the rear ???

    I'd go 40mm front then the rear depends upon what stance you're after. Remember that the front lifts when you accelerate and drops under braking. I'd personnally go for a drop that gave the car a slightly rear end high look but up to you.

    It all depends on how much of a gap you want, also ride comfort.

    55mm rear, 40mm front:

    IMO the best stance for a saxo, not silly low but still looks smart and usable. Planning on lowering my saxo just like yours

    wouldn't advise lower than 50 mine was about 60+ which drastically shortened the life span of the drive shafts seeing as they were at an a higher angle

    50 mm i would say handles great and no scrapes and looks wicked
