I lowwered mine approx 40mm on standard RS turbo wheels and it looked just right,think if you went 60mm it would look too low but depends on what wheels etc you have. Have a look in my photo album at pics of my RS turbo

Not an ERST, but almost

On 16's, with 195 tyres, no rubbing. Doubt you'd get away with 17's without rolling the arches.

I'm fairly sure that there aren't any shocks available that can cope with a 60mm drop, so, if you fit those springs, the shocks will be bottomed out.

Except Coilovers of course, but that's not easy either.

i had an xr3i on 60mm P.I. Springs and the front shocks(koni) used to bottom out all the time.
it also had 17's and i had to cut all the arch lip away. Basically it was greif and i'd go 40mm if i was doing it again.

Don't doubt, i just looked at the tire size, it's 215-40-r17. And i had to roll the arches all round. ( since archliners are bonded realy well, i took the axlegrinder, went a far bit quicker )

I would advice not to go 60mm mines sitting at 50mm which looks the bollacks but I think 40mm with be perfect all round for looks and handling.

50mm drop
