   Hello all, was just wondering how can i can go without the wheels rubbing on the arches on my 1.1 citroen saxo (east coast)
   
   i really want to know how low i can without it rubbing and i have also got a 2000 watt subwoofer in the boot which weighs a bit. and also how low can i go on the standard shock absorbers?
   
   if you can help me that would be great! thanks a bunch! xx

   What size wheels has it got? Tire profile? It also depends if you want to be able to take people in the back or not.
   
   As for how low you can go on standard shocks, as low as you like/dare. They will just wear out quicker. Most people say dont go lower than 40mm on standard shocks, but i know people that have been down 60/70 for years on standard shocks and had no problems
