So if your chassis is on ground, your sills will be 12cm from ground. If you wanna drive with it, you should have maybe 8cm under chassis, so it makes 20cm for sills. Low, but not so low looking. -Olli _________________ www.ollierkkila.com Back to top jopro Snailer Joined: 13 Aug 2009 Posts: 59 Location: England Posted: Tue Jan 26, 2010 11:48 pm    Post subject: Bit of a rubbish pic that doesnt really show much except a blurred tape measure _________________ Lowering the tone since 1983 Back to top Shedspeed Dropped Joined: 13 Jul 2007 Posts: 446 Location: kent, England Posted: Tue Feb 09, 2010 9:07 pm    Post subject: Olli wrote: I think the magic measure is 12cm.

Standard springs are no good for going low. _________________ Back to top Bart Lowered Joined: 17 Jun 2007 Posts: 783 Location: Södertälje Posted: Tue Feb 09, 2010 9:25 pm    Post subject: I had about 8cm ground clearance on standaard springs the other day. That was doable but I wouldn't go lower with standard suspension. _________________ I like to play Back to top jopro Snailer Joined: 13 Aug 2009 Posts: 59 Location: England Posted: Thu Feb 11, 2010 12:41 am    Post subject: I want to run 15s and that is the key, i think i have to do some inner wing mods...
