Ive got a set of 195/45/15's on my fester, i was wondering how much i can lower her til the tyres start rubbin. i dont wanna have to do any work on the arches.
i know fraz has lowered his 40mm and he gets small rubbin i was wondering wot springs i could use so i dont wear my tyres out?

[chumkila]

about 30-35mm i'd expect.

I have the same size tyres as yours and have lowered 60mm with no arch work. I have yoko A538's. Gemax springs will drop it this much

[chumkila]

it really comes down to luck, as you will find some fezzy's rub even at a 25mm drop and some wont rub as in the case of Andy at a massive 60mm drop.

hey andy have u tryed it with two or three passengers in the back?

how much were ur springs?

ive been offered sum 35mm springs for £30 so i think i will buy them and try it.

thanx guys

Like Chumkilla said it is luck as it seems to vary from car to car. For what its worth I lowered mine 60mm on the same size tyres as yours and had no rubbing even with people in the back. I'd try the 35mm ones, especially for the money and if you want to go lower then you can at a later date.

Here in Germany Fiestas with 195/45 R15 wheels are lowered about 60mm...

My Mk3.5 is lowered ca. 70mm and i will try to use 195/45 R15 in the next weeks....i hope it will fit...

[chumkila]

hi Em, i'm sure you will be fine.

my car looks slammed at the back now having fitted 40mm springs. i can just get my fingers between tyre and arch. It looks to vary depending on car.
good luck mate
later

I get no rubbing with a full car of people and ice install. My mate has 60mm drop as well..
It does seem to vary from car to car though.

Mine are Jamex springs.. now call Gemax
