;) Could yours go lower.say 40mm?

You can mate but will be very close ........if you hit thoses dips on the rd / motorway you will ground out :( as i do sometimes if they are deep....:(

Think also if u drop more than that you will need adjustable front camber arms in all...im getting mine done next wk, but only about 20mm ;)

mines a bit to low , can't do speed humps, and grounds out on uneven surfaces under heavy braking

mine is to low and to hard split my front cross member on a pot hole doh!!!handles like a dream though ,grinds out on anything thats not flat SPEEDBUMPS are just inconsiderate fu#**~#+@$terds

Does it make the ride very much harsher?

Ditto with me. Totally impractical (multi-storey car-parks are a dim and distant memory and there are some roads in my area that I just can't go down due to speed bumps ;)) but the handling, for a car of its nature, is with no exaggeration superb. As the saying goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch :)

I'm on 18" with 35mm lowered springs, and I wouldnt advise it and i have the OE front spoiler, your probably lower.

A while back I had to put the original wheels back on the front and ended up ripping the exhaust off on a speed hump, followed by all the engine under tray on a cattle grid, granted that was a further inch lower, but you need a little room for rocks in the road etc.

 

I,d love to do the american thing and drop the roof down an inch instead, that would look the danglies. :cool:

russ, yours would ground out driving over a matchstick!! ;)

 

Eibach springs drop the car 0.8", which is a sensible amount IMO

My zed was lowered when I bought it, clearance is about 4/5 inches, would not go any lower than that, have trouble with speed bumps, front end twatting off kerbs when parking, cant get it on ramps in garages, even have trouble getting it on and off me drive, but on the plus side it hadles absolutely class. If I had a choice I would lower it but probably only by about 30 to 40mm.
