    dont lower the rear excessively if the fronts not low it looks shite and has a pretty shocking effect on making the car understeer

    lowest id go on 16s is 50mm tbh

    that above looks photoshopped

    youll need to loose a lot of the arch front and rear to get it 80mm down on 16s you may also need to look at stretched tyres to work on lock

    I thought you said you had a 206gti you wanted lowered!
    ive seen a saxo on here on 16' c2 wheels at 85mm rear, 60mm front. How do you plan on lowering the front to 80mm? i think you will have trouble going this low on 16's. my cars quite slammed on 15's, if you want to take a butchers hook

    Although if you want the torsion bar adjusted, then i can do it. £60 for just the torsion bar, to whatever height (rubbing is your issue)

    Camberly isn't far, at all. Although im afraid i'm not covered by insurance to do mobile work, only covered at my premesis.

    There's no way ur gonna get it 80 mm on 16s I've got c2 16z on mine n they rub to fuck , 60 on front 50 on back don't lower back same as front or ull loose traction that's why all cars are higher at back to put weight on front wheels .

    Where abouts in Camberley are you from mate?
    I'm from Sandhurst

    on the other hand though its not a good idea to go that low on 16" alloys
    50-60mm is the lowest you should go
