this much [--------------------------------] how long is a peice of string??

it depends on what shockers you have how old they are, what wheel profile you have ?? they just get lower id recomend ultra lows in the rear and supers up front made my car sit nice.

super lows will lower your car 40 mm so ive been told and then will sag maybe another 5 mm.. ultra lows lower your car 50mm but i think for those u will have to change your shocks.. i may not be right but thats what ive been told by pedders

Also depends on rim size and tyre profile. I know its minimal difference as you go up in rim size you drop down in tyre profile, but to the eye it is a significant difference
