Title: Lowering ??? How Low!!!
Post by: elite3.0v6tourer on 11 November 2008, 15:48:10
I have 17" rims with 245/45s and want to lower the car,would 30mm all round make much difference.
Has anyone got any before/after pics of there lowered car.
I like to have around a 5-7mm gap from tyre top to arch if possible.
