Default Lowering mk6 estate

Hi everyone,

Thinking of lowering my mk6 estate and just wanted to know how low you can go by just doing the springs? Also how low with standard 195/50/15 and how low with mondeo 205/45/16. Thinking of changing

Cheers

on the estate its simply a spring set and its easier to do than hatchbacks too as rear springs are separate from the shocks, -40mm is my advice but you can go lower but I wouldn't, as for 16" wheels with a 40mm drop running 45 profile tyres is the way to go as its fits like a glove and the arches look filled
