   I have 195/45/15's
   
   I have recently bought 50mm spax springs for the front!
   
   But I dont know how many notches to have at the back!
   
   I have been told 1 notch is about 25mm and 2 notches is about 55mm. My system in the boot also lower's the back about 10mm anyway as it is quite heavy.
   
   i usually do have a full car or near enough so i am unsure how many notches to have at the back?
   
   any help ? and has any1 got any pics of 1.1's lowered around 50mm ish
   
   Cheers

   used to have it with about 2 in the car but then i had the metal lip grinded off so know it does it every now and then over speed bumps but only with a full car. n it only does it every now n then, n not bad!
   
   but when i have it lowered i'm havin the plastic trim poppers removed n bonding the trim to the bodywork.

   forget notches, do it properly and you can get it level and spot on. do a search as there are hundreds of lowering threads.
