   iv just had my vtr lowered 40mm all round but im a bit dissapointed. it just dosnt seem low enough. if i was to lower it another 20mm would i need a full suspension kit? this is a silly question iv got 15" wheels on it, if i put 16"s on would it look lower because it would fill more of the arch?

   You will need to buy new 60mm springs but the shocks should be ok if they are uprated? Mail the company you bought from. And as far as getting 16's gos, they may fill the arches more but the car will still be about 15mm higher than it already is now if you do so...

   40mm is considered perfect (or near enough to) handling height. Depends what you're going for. Handling or looks? Although it's not essential (as some people haven't done it), going down 60mm is better to have uprated shocks/dampers. I'm lowered 60mm on 15's and it looks fine. A lot of people on here are lowered 40mm on 15's too.
