   Ive seen the lowering height guide thread but the pictures really arent that usefull, anyone got a picture of a saxo dropped 35mm on front that clearly shows the gap between the wheel and the arch?

   You want to go lower mate as it looks crap with 14" alloys.

   I lowered mine 45mm on 14inch alloys, and i'd say go lower.
   
   In retrospect the car is only about 3cm lower then standard, with 45mm strings
   
   I'd go for 60mm personally

   i did 40mm on the front lewis.. 35mm wont be much different from my pic below, although.. if i could do it again i'd go lower on the front - 50mm probs

   Coilies are on route as of today! Went against the springs method and am gonna slam it and throw my bbs on there, trying for a slightly different euro look than most, got some huuuuuge interior and suspension mod plans which will be some what difficult but wel see how it all goes

   For 60s you'll need new front shocks too if you didnt already know like. See my build thread for 35mms up from on 15 inch 205 gtis
